VARIOUS MOMENTS OF A FORCE

VARIOUS MOMENTS OF A FORCE ARE-

1. BENDING MOMENT
2.TORSIONAL/TWISTING MOMENT

 What is moment of a force?
Moment of a force is the  measure of tendency of body to rotates about some axis or point .
The line of action of force should not pass through the centroid of the body or cancel each other .
it can be calculated as the product of force and perpendicular distance from the line of action of force and the point.
M= f x d

Bending Moment 
Turning effect of a force which tends to bend the member acts perpendicular to the axis of the body . Due to the resultant force it tends to bend .

Torsional/ Twisting Moment
It is the resultant of force produces twisting of the body resulting from shear stress of the body .

Wire drawing effect

Wire drawing effect : It is erosion or scoring of valve seat and disc material of the valve . Causes : 1. Due to differential pressure across the valve . 2. Thermal and mechanical damages . Effects : Valve is unable to isolate the line and fails in sealing . Gas and liquid will leak from the wire and scratch like groove .

Cross and loop scavenging Disadvantage

Cross scavenging Disadvantage 1. It requires longer  piston skirt to prevent exhaust gas and air leaks from the ports when piston is at TDC . Loop scavenging Disadvantage 1. Both exhaust port and scavenge port are at the adjacent side of the liner which causes temperature differential problem for the liner material . Hence , we are using mostly the uniflow scavenging which is having very lesser mixing and better scavenging efficiency. Source : DA Taylor
