Circle (Definition):


A plane figure bounded by a curve which formed by a Locus of a Point that rotates on a path so that it is always at a fixed distance from a stationary point (Centre point).


Terms Used In Circle:


Some terms are frequently used in circles. These are as follows:

Diameter: 

The length of a straight line between two points on the curve and passing through the center point of the circle is called Diameter. It is denoted by 'D' or 'd' or 'Φ' (Phi).

Radius:

The length of a straight line, between any point on the curve to the centre point is called a Radius. It is half (i.e. D/2) of the diameter. Radius is denoted by 'R' or 'r'.


Circumference Or Periphery:

The linear length of the entire curve line is termed as Circumference or Periphery. It is equal to πD (where, π=3.14285714 or 3.143).


Arc:

A part or distance between two points on the circumference or periphery is called an Arc.


Chord:

The straight line joining the two end points of an arc is termed a Chord. The longest chord of any circle is the diameter of that circle.


Segment:

The area or plane figure bounded by a curve and a chord is termed a Segment. It is a part of a circle. See the above image.


Sector:

The part of a circle, bounded by two radii (plural of radius) meeting at an angle and an arc is called a Sector. See the above image.


Quadrant:

The part of a circle, bounded by two radii (plural of radius) making 90° with each other and an arc is termed a Quadrant. There are always four (4) quadrants in a circle, so each quadrant is one-fourth of a circle.


Tangent And Normal:

The straight line that just touches the circle at any point on its circumference or periphery but never cuts or passes through the circle when extended is called a Tangent.

The point where the tangent touches the periphery of a circle is called the "Point Of Tangency".

The straight line or radius that joins the center point of a circle and the point of tangency is called Normal. The normal always makes a 90° angle with the tangent.



Concentric Circles:

Circles within a circle, having a common center point are called Concentric circles. All types of bearings are examples of concentric circles.

Eccentric Circles:

Circles within a circle, having different centers are called Eccentric circles. Ball-bearing and yo-yo are examples of concentric circles.

LAYOUT OF BORDERS AND TITLE BLOCK ON DRAWING SHEET

Post Summarization: ● Introduction. ● Size of drawing sheets. ● Margin. ● Borderlines. ● Title block. ● Rules for selecting Titles. ● Revision Table. ● Notes. ● Tutorial Videos (Coming Soon!) INTRODUCTION: A drawing sheet consists of an engineering drawing and must have some other aspects too i.e. Border lines, Title block, Notes, etc for better demonstration of the drawing. The layout of border lines and title blocks should always be done in some specific manner on the drawing sheet as it's not only a necessity for increasing the visual orientation of the drawing sheets, moreover, these help to read the drawing sheet more speedily in a systematic way. SIZE OF THE DRAWING SHEET: The size of the drawing sheet in detail can be found in the  TECHNICAL DRAWING AND INSTRUMENTS of this blog. MARGIN: Margin or Marginal lines are drawn on the drawing sheet only where the untrimmed size of the drawing sheet is provided. Generally, in the paper industry, trimmers are used to trim drawing sh

LETTERING

 LETTERING: INTRODUCTION Writing titles on drawing sheets, dimensions on drawing objects, special notes, and other important particulars on a drawing is called Lettering. It is a very important step in an engineering drawing. Lettering should, therefore, be done properly in a clear, legible, and uniform style. It should be in plain and simple style so that it could be done freehand and speedily. Any ornamental style must be avoided lettering in engineering drawings. Though accurate and neat drawings may be drawn yet sometimes, their appearance is spoiled by ornamental lettering or sometimes, their usefulness is decreased by poor lettering.   Note:  The use of drawing instruments in lettering takes considerable time and hence, it should be avoided to save time, especially in the examination hall. Efficiency in the art of lettering can be achieved by careful and continuous practices. **Actually, a free hand drawing means, "keeping almost the same visual shape, you can draw any comp

INTRODUCTION OF ENGINEERING DRAWING

INTRODUCTION OF ENGINEERING DRAWING Simply you can say, it is a special type of language globally used for engineers or technical persons to communicate between them for fulfillment of target or making any geometrical shaped object or rather say any project. Suppose, there is a building or bridge construction or maybe the construction of an electric or power substation, or maybe in a mechanical workshop, we need various types of technical persons or specialists for construction or production. As an example, some engineers ensure the stability of load capacity of the ground and how much load can bear that ground by doing the field survey, some technical persons or engineers develop the structure or construction, and some technical person completes the fabrication ( i.e. riveting or welding ) portions, some technical persons or engineers develop the electrical supply connections and so on. All technical persons and engineers come together to complete a project or projects but they all n

SCALE

INTRODUCTION TO SCALE :   Scales are made of wood, steel, celluloid plastic, or cardboard. 15 cm long and 2 cm wide or 30 cm long and 3 cm wide level scales are in Common use. They are ordinarily around 1 mm thick. However, a  15 c.m. long and 2 c.m. wide scale is considered a Standard length of scale.  By using scale, small components can be drawn with the same size as the components are actually. A 150 mm long pen or 175 mm long pencil may be shown by a drawing of 150 mm length or 175 mm length respectively. Drawings of the same size as the objects are called full-size drawings and ordinary full-size scales are generally used to draw such drawings. A scale is determined by the ratio of the dimensions of an element as represented in a drawing to the actual dimensions of the same element. This is called R.F. or Representative Fraction of Scale. The scales are generally classified as : (1) Plain scales (2) Diagonal scales (3) Vernier scales (4) Comparative scales (5) Scale of chor

TECHNICAL DRAWING AND INSTRUMENTS

What is Technical Drawing? What is the necessity of Technical Drawing?  Technical drawing or drafting, is the demonstration and discipline of composing drawings that visually communicate how something capacities or is developed. Technical drawing is basic for imparting thoughts in industry and engineering. To make the drawings more clear, individuals use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page design. Together, such conventions constitute a visual language and help to guarantee that the attraction is unambiguous and moderately straightforward. A large number of the images and standards of Technical drawing are systematized in an international standard called ISO 128.  The requirement for exact correspondence in the arrangement of a practical record recognizes specialized drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual expressions. Creative drawings are emotionally deciphered; their implications are duplicated and decided. Specia
