Tags
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions.
Questions within the problem domain of mechanical engineering. Mechanical Engineering can be a broad field; consider choosing more specific tags if they apply.
3964 questions
Study and applications of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Use this tag when someone who has trained as an electrical engineer is likely to be able to answer your question.
1372 questions
Questions related to the integrity, design requirements, or analysis of structures.
1233 questions
Questions relating to fluids at rest (fluid statics) or the forces and effects of fluids in motion (fluid dynamics).
1073 questions
Use for questions about designing, manufacturing or synthesizing engineered materials or about the properties of specific materials. Questions concerning common construction materials, such as wood, steel or masonry do not need to use this tag; use the more specific tag instead.
850 questions
Questions that fall into the problem domain of civil engineering or one of its sub-disciplines. Questions about buildings or other structures could usually use the "structural-engineering" tag also.
802 questions
Questions about the models and theories of control engineering and the application of control theory to design systems with desired behaviors.

Torque is defined mathematically as the rate of change of angular momentum of an object (in physics it is called "net torque"). The definition of torque states that one or both of the angular velocity or the moment of inertia of an object are changing. Moment is the term used for the tendency of one force to rotate an object,but not necessarily to change the angular momentum of the object (the concept which is called torque in physics).
317 questions
Questions about the theory and applications of structural elements designed to resist bending.

Statics is branch of engineering concerned with the analysis of forces and moments on physical systems in static equilibrium.
303 questions
Questions about the dynamics of a system. Currently there is a very large scope ranging from from dynamics in mechanics, vehicle and flight dynamics, to system dynamics and fluid dynamics.

Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the research, design, development, construction, and testing of aircraft and spacecraft.
253 questions
Questions relating to or the engineering application of a device that must withstand a loading via deflection, stresses, resistance to buckling, or natural frequencies.

For questions related to the alloy steel: Its production, material properties and applications. The carbon content of steel is between 0.002% and 2.1% by weight for plain iron-carbon alloys.
242 questions
For questions about the design, classification and working principle of pumps. A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action.
