Catastrophic Results for Equipment and Machine Driving Systems When High Impact during Operation Occurs

摘要

Energy is vital to machines and equipment basic functioning. On the other hand, it has an ambiguity determined by its detrimental side under other circumstances. This paper aims to present a review of simple laws of physics/mechanics in order to understand some benefits of using such energies (kinetic and potential energies), in order to process products or generating movement (mechanical energy). However, also shows its damaging side for driving systems, where such energies may generate catastrophes, usually due to high impacts. This last, which destroys complete or partial systems due to the absence of any robust/preventive protection. There is a safety manner (solution) to protect the systems, described along the text.
