  2. Overconstrained mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconstrained_mechanism

    In mechanical engineering, an overconstrained mechanism is a linkage that has more degrees of freedom than is predicted by the mobility formula. The mobility formula evaluates the degree of freedom of a system of rigid bodies that results when constraints are imposed in the form of joints between the links.

  3. Socioeconomic mobility in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socioeconomic_mobility_in...

    Illustration from a 1916 advertisement for a vocational school in the back of a US magazine. Education has been seen as a key to socioeconomic mobility, and the advertisement appealed to Americans' belief in the possibility of self-betterment as well as threatening the consequences of downward mobility in the great income inequality existing during the Industrial Revolution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    An example of a simple open chain is a serial robot manipulator. These robotic systems are constructed from a series of links connected by six one degree-of-freedom revolute or prismatic joints, so the system has six degrees of freedom. An example of a simple closed chain is the RSSR spatial four-bar linkage.

  5. Myth of meritocracy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_meritocracy

    The minority of individuals who manage to overcome structural conditions and achieve upward class mobility are used as examples to support the idea that meritocracy exists. [ 22 ] In the United States , people of lower classes are conditioned to believe in meritocracy, despite class mobility in the country being among the lowest in ...

  6. Statically indeterminate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statically_indeterminate

    Numerically, this can be achieved by using matrix structural analyses, finite element method (FEM) or the moment distribution method (Hardy Cross) . Practically, a structure is called 'statically overdetermined' when it comprises more mechanical constraints – like walls, columns or bolts – than absolutely necessary for stability.

  7. Economic mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_mobility

    [5] Relative mobility is a zero-sum game, absolute is not. Exchange mobility is the mobility that results from a "reshuffling" of incomes among the economic agents, with no change in the income amounts. For example, in the case of two agents, a change in income distribution might be {1,2}->{2,1}. This is a case of pure exchange mobility, since ...

  8. Social mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_mobility

    Illustration from a 1916 advertisement for a vocational school in the back of a US magazine. Education has been seen as a key to social mobility and the advertisement appealed to Americans' belief in the possibility of self-betterment as well as threatening the consequences of downward mobility in the great income inequality existing during the Industrial Revolution.

  9. Horizontal mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_mobility

    Horizontal mobility, which is a type of social mobility, refers to the change of physical space or profession without changes in the economic situation, prestige, and lifestyle of the individual, or the forward or backward movement from one similar group or status to another.
