Torque

rather than itself to make it loud. So the need to hollow out its inner body is unnecessary and instead just made out of a solid block of wood. Wood, in particular, is used on all types of guitars as it provides the most strength to withstand the torque and immense tension generated through the strings while not sacrificing on its ability to resonate the sound in itself and the unique tone made from that. In contrast, wood is an abundant resource in comparison to plastic and metal which is not…

5. Identify and describe two tools of measurement in functional anatomy. Two commonly used tools to obtain anthropometric measures are x-ray and goniometers. X-rays and other radiological techniques aid in showing bones structure and mass in vivo. This is possible due to x-rays passing unobstructed through low density tissues and being obstructed by high density tissues. Goniometers are a tool used to measure the range of motion of a joint. This helps identify the plane of movement through…

The tires of a slick black car can be seen bulging out from its fender flares, as if they were muscles flexing, as it slowly rolls down the dimly lit street. A thunderous mechanical lope can be heard coming from the car’s engine bay, coupled with a chrome supercharger protruding from the glossy black hood, decaled with a shimmering gold phoenix. The driver’s hands grip the perforated leather wrapped steering wheel, waiting for the traffic light to change. A brilliant green flash illuminates the…

Progressive resistance training means a gradual increase in load during the training period and should always been monitored by a trained professional. The number of repetitions that everyone can tolerate depends on the external resistance such as the load imposed during the exercise, which is called MR in the studies published: for example, 1MR indicates the maximal load tolerated with one repetition. Resistance training is defined as an activity that develops and maintains strength, resistance…

The patient was a 19 year old sophomore outside hitter in volleyball who sustained a right shoulder impingement her freshman year. Since this injury tends to have a gradual onset of symptoms, there was no specific mechanism of injury. However, the constant overhead movement of the arm during her hitting probably greatly contributed to her impingement. She saw the team physician last fall, but did not have any diagnostic imaging test completed such as X-ray or MRI. Although she did receive some…

Are EPA Diesel Emission regulations regulating Truck owners? As a result of EPA regulations, today’s diesel engines are more efficient than ever before seen in large and midsized trucks. Certain regulations restrict truck owners from using certain truck models, because of excess diesel emission. Increasing drastically as technology improves, cars and trucks produce less and less diesel exhausts and emissions. “But because diesel engines can operate for 30 years or more, millions of older,…

“The machine does not isolate us from the great problems of nature but plunges us more deeply into them.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery I relate to this thought in my quest to find sustainable technologies because the work of an engineer is to “enable the future” not merely to “foresee” it. As a mechanical engineer and a founder & head for a sustainable technology based start-up I realized the importance of technology enabled sustainability for a healthier…

Particle (steel and spherical particles) waterjet is a new type of waterjet that can effectively break rock and other materials. In this study, simulation combined with experimental method was conducted to optimize the jet parameters (i. e., velocity, water pressure, impact time, concentration, diameter, and standoff distance) for modeling the rock breaking performance of a particle waterjet. In particular, the changes in the rock and particle properties after the impact were analyzed based on…
