Types of body of material
There are three types of body are mainly considered in strength of material. 1) Elastic body A body regains its originals dimensions when the external load acting on it is completely removed are called as elastic body.
Mechanical Properties of Material
These Properties are explained as follows – 1) Strength The ability of a material to resist its failure under the action of load is called as strength of material. 2) Elasticity The property by virtue of which
Difference between gear and belt drive
Belt drive Gear drive Belt drive is used when distance between driving shaft and driven shaft is more. Gear drive is used when distance between driven and driving shaft is less. Due to the sleep laser velocity
