    Calculating Torque for Rotating a Shaft with a 50,000kg Load at 4 RPM

    You must use the load diameter. If you want to know the torque at the gear box input the power at the input and at the out one must be the same. That torque will be then Ti = To.μ, where μ is the transmission relation.

    How to calculate equivalent inertia of an engine?

    Knight, this is an academic question, studied in any book about dynamic of machinery. You can find in this page, something about it http://www.codecogs.com/library/engineering/theory_of_machines/inertia-forces-and-couples.php The main idea is reducing all the mechanism in one of their...

    Direction cosine matrix of rolling disk on circular ring

    The problem can be modelling as the figure, where there are three rigid solids or reference systems: 0 is the laboratory, 1 is an auxiliary solid which rotates about the vertical axe z with respect to 0, this rotation is modelling as a motor of rotation its axis is fixed to 0 and, finally, 2 is...

    Drawing and meshing involute bevel gears in CAD

    Jarfi, the surface of the pinion bevel can be involute, but the corresponding bevel wheel will not be involute at all. To calculate this profile you can consult http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/cam041/2003065205.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a242709.pdf

    Mathematical solution needed for this biomechanics problem

    You can solve this problem by steps : 1. We isolete the spine and we apply the three dynamics equations on it to calculate the forces in A1 as the torque. 2. Do the same for L2, L3 and L5.
