Factor of Safety or Safety Factor is a very important term used to define the safety of a product design. Its value depends on the end use of a product. For example, if a product design has an impact on the safety of the product. In this article we will d ...
Plastics are widely used to manufacture consumer electronics, telecom and automotive parts. Various joining techniques are used to join plastic parts. But each joining technique has its own challenges. In this article we will discuss in detail about screw ...
Gyroscope is a device used to measure & maintain the orientation and angular velocity of a rotating body by utilizing earth gravitational forces. Therefore they are widely used for navigation purposes. In this article we will discuss different types o ...
What is Pitch Yaw and Roll Motion? A free body in 3-dimensional space can have three different rotational motions (Roll Pitch Yaw) along three orthogonal axis. These rotational motions are used to control and position an object in free space and the a ...
What is CNC Machine? If you are into any kind of manufacturing or engineering stuff. You must have heard the name "CNC". CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control". CNC Machines are automated control machines that utilize a computer program to move ...
Metals are an integral part of our day to day life. We use a lot of products made of metals. Thousands types of metal grades are available. Selection of a material for an application is done according to our requirements and mechanical properties of a met ...
Mechanical properties of material defines material behavior under load conditions such as tension, compression and shear forces. These properties help in the selection of material during product and process design. For example to draw wire. We select a ma ...
Heating is a very important part of our life. Similar to food that changes its properties after heating. A Material also changes their properties when it is heated and allowed to cool it. This process of heating and cooling materials is known as heat trea ...
Least count of an instrument has a direct relationship with the measuring instrument accuracy and precision. For example, to measure 6.2 ± 0.25 mm dimension, a ruler is not a right measurement tool. Because the minimum dimension a ruler can measure accura ...
Accuracy and precision are widely used to evaluate the performance of repeated tasks or measurements. For example, to evaluate the performance of a process on the shop floor, process accuracy and precision is measured. But sometimes these two terms are co ...
