Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Static pressure is the pressure in or due to a non-moving fluid, such as water. A fluid does not sustain shearing forces, thus a force that compresses the object is the only force transferrable by a liquid....

Hydrostatic pressure is a state of stress characterized by equal principal stresses, S1 = S2 = S3. This is the state of stress that exists at any point in a liquid at rest. Units of measurement are pounds per square inch (psi) in the English System and...

Fluid pressure is the pressure at some point within a fluid, such as water or air. Fluid pressure occurs in one of two...

Cooling and chip removal are critical The type of cooling fluid you use is irrelevant if it doesn't get to the cutting area. Fluid force and nozzle placement are, therefore, critical "details" in many machining and grinding operations. "I bought the best machine...

There's growing concern for the lubricants industry to increase the performance of hydraulic applications. But higher production costs and new technological requirements make the task more difficult than ever. One of the oldest methods of lubrication, hydraulics have continued to evolve because of...
