Rotational Dynamics
Torque (τ)
τ = rF sinθ
Power (Rotational)
P = τω
Kinetic E (Rot)
K = ½ Iω²
Classic Newton
τ = Iα
Moment of Inertia (I)
Hoop / Point:
I = MR²
Disk / Cylinder:
I = ½ MR²
Solid Sphere:
I = ⅖ MR²
Rod (Center):
I = ⅟₁₂ ML²
Machine Elements
Gear Ratio
GR = N_out / N_in
= T_out / T_in = ω_in / ω_out
Factor of Safety
FOS = σ_yield / σ_design
Should be > 1.0
Solid & Fluid Mechanics
Stress & Strain
Stress (Normal)
σ = F/A
Strain
ε = ΔL/L₀
Hooke's Law
σ = Eε
Shear Stress
τ = Gγ
Fluid Dynamics
Pressure
P = F/A = ρgh
Bernoulli
P + ½ρv² + ρgh = C
Buoyancy
F_b = ρVg
Flow Rate
Q = Av
