The operator must go through and become familiar with these general safety precautions/recommendations to avoid accidents and injuries while working on lathe machine: ..
In fluid mechanics, the pressure results from a normal compressive force acting on an area. The pressure ‘P’ is defined as force (F) per unit area (A). ..
Six scalar equations are required to express the conditions for the equilibrium of a rigid body in the general three-dimensional case, those equations are listed ..
The sliding of a solid body in contact with another solid body is always opposed by force of friction. Friction acts in the direction opposite to that of relative ..
Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a non-traditional machining process uses the principle of Faraday to remove metal from the workpiece. Electrolysis is based on Faraday ..
