AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the comparison of two actions with the same average torque per revolution but differing peak instantaneous torque. The graph illustrates that one action has a higher torque peak at certain angles, which may imply different performance characteristics. Participants note that "impulsive torque" isn't a distinct category; rather, torque is simply torque regardless of its distribution. The conversation raises questions about the potential advantages of having a higher peak torque despite identical average values. Understanding these differences can impact performance evaluations in mechanical applications.

What is the difference between two actions where average torque / revolution is same; however peak instantaneous torque in one revolution is higher in first action. distribution of torque in one revolution is given in the image, the average torque per revolution for both are same.

The difference is exactly what the graph shows. Different amounts of torque at different angles - one peaks higher... There's nothing you can categorize as "impulsive torque" in your example; torque is just torque.
 
Does the one peaks higher has any advantages. even though average torque is same
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
