Cross Section Of Cylinder

A real damper is more like a hydraulic cylinder cross section apst consisting of two working chambers filled with pressurized oil and detached by a piston cross section apst connected to the piston rod cross section apstrod.

Cross section of cylinder. In this lesson you will learn how to visualize the 2d cross sections of cylinders by analyzing if a plane intersects with straight or curved surfaces. A cross section of a solid right circular cylinder extending between two bases is a disk if the cross section is parallel to the cylinder s base or an elliptic region see diagram at right if it is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the base. Where π is a constant 3 14159265 which is the ratio of the circumference to diameter of a circle while r is the radius of the cylinder.

We don t draw the rest of the object just the shape made when you cut through. If the cross section penetrates each of the sides but not straight through the round parts you have an ellipse in which case the area is pi a b where a is the radius of the cylinder and b is half the distance between long parts of the ellipse. The cross section of this circular cylinder is a circle.
