Why understanding beam bending is important?
ByAnthony January 9, 2022April 22, 2023

What is the importance of beams? The primary function of beams, regardless of the application, is to act as structural elements that transfer loads. In the civil engineering field, beams refer to horizontal elements which symmetrical sections, such as an i-beam. For example, in a building, beams support the weight of a building’s floors above, ceilings,…

Determining Material based on Mechanical Properties
ByAnthony April 28, 2022October 29, 2022

Objective The object of the experiment is to determine the material of an unknown specimen based on the material young’s modulus(E). Young’s modulus is the ratio of the stress to strain in the plastic region of the stress-strain diagram. This mechanical property is material specific. The data which was gathered during this experiment is as…

Understanding Moment of Inertia
ByAnthony August 14, 2024July 3, 2025

Physics often focuses on simplifying complex phenomena to understand better and predict the natural world. This art of idealization is a cornerstone of mechanics, where we frequently encounter the concept of a “particle” or “point mass.” Within this context, the moment of inertia plays a crucial role, particularly in rotational dynamics. In thermodynamic equilibrium, all…

Planetary Gear: Explained
ByAnthony March 15, 2024July 19, 2024

A planetary gear system also known as an Epicyclic gearing or planetary gearing. It consists of spur gears arranged in an epicyclic configuration. In this setup, a central gear, known as the sun gear, acts as the input and drives the system. Multiple “driven” gears, or planets, orbiting the sun gear within a gearbox. These planets mesh…
