Axial direction in wood means its longitudinal direction (the height of the tree when it was growing). Engineers look at this as the direction that cylinder spins on its axis, if log were a roller, the axial direct ion would be along its length.

What is axial direction?

It is the direction in line with (parallel to) the axis of the part. If you have a cylindrical shaft, for example, the axial direction runs along the length thru the center of the circular ends.


Axial flow turbomachines?

These are machines dealing with fluids, like (Axial Compressors, pumps and Fans). the term "Axial" is given due to the direction of inward and outward flow. In axial turbo machines the direction of outward flow is the same as the direction of the inward flow since the blades of the machines doesn't change the direction of flow.


What are uni-axial forces?

a uniaxial force is a force applied only in one direction - directly in the axis direction


What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?

in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.


What is the difference between axial bearing and radial bearing?

In axial bearing the most power force in the same direction as the axis of the shaft In radial bearing no.


How can I determine the direction of the wood grain for sanding?

To determine the direction of the wood grain for sanding, run your hand over the surface of the wood. The direction that feels smoothest is the direction of the grain. Sand in the same direction as the grain to avoid damaging the wood.


What physical quantities are represented by axial vectors?

Axial vectors represent physical quantities associated with rotational motion, such as angular velocity, torque, and angular momentum. These quantities have both magnitude and direction, and their direction is perpendicular to the plane of rotation.


What is the value of Poisson's ratio of wood?

Poisson's ratio is the negative ratio of how compression affects distortion. When an object is compressed in one direction it expands in two directions perpendicular to the direction of compression. The ratio is equal to d(transverse strain)/d(axial strain).


What is positive axial displacement of steam turbine?

axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.


What is the direction that fibers run in wood called?

The direction that fibers run in wood is called the grain. Grain direction is important in woodworking as it affects the strength, stability, and appearance of the wood.
