SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the distinction between two actions with identical average torque per revolution but differing peak instantaneous torque values. The graph referenced illustrates varying torque distributions across different angles, highlighting that one action exhibits a higher peak torque. The term "impulsive torque" is deemed inapplicable in this context, as torque is consistently defined without categorization. The implications of higher peak torque, despite equal average torque, are explored, suggesting potential advantages in performance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque concepts in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with torque distribution graphs
  • Knowledge of rotational dynamics
  • Basic principles of mechanical advantage
NEXT STEPS
  • Research torque distribution analysis in mechanical systems
  • Learn about the effects of peak torque on performance in engines
  • Explore the principles of rotational dynamics in depth
  • Investigate mechanical advantage and its applications in engineering
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, and students studying dynamics who are interested in the implications of torque variations on performance and efficiency.

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
