  2. Level set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_set

    When n = 3, a level set is called a level surface (or isosurface); so a level surface is the set of all real-valued roots of an equation in three variables x 1, x 2 and x 3. For higher values of n, the level set is a level hypersurface, the set of all real-valued roots of an equation in n > 3 variables. A level set is a special case of a fiber.

  3. Level-set method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level-set_method

    Left image shows zero-level solution. Right image shows the level-set scalar field. The Level-set method (LSM) is a conceptual framework for using level sets as a tool for numerical analysis of surfaces and shapes. LSM can perform numerical computations involving curves and surfaces on a fixed Cartesian grid without having to parameterize these ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Example mechanical drawing. Here is an example of an engineering drawing (an isometric view of the same object is shown above). The different line types are colored for clarity. Black = object line and hatching; Red = hidden line; Blue = center line of piece or opening; Magenta = phantom line or cutting plane line

  5. List of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surfaces

    This is a list of surfaces in mathematics. They are divided into minimal surfaces , ruled surfaces , non-orientable surfaces , quadrics , pseudospherical surfaces , algebraic surfaces , and other types of surfaces.

  6. Grading (earthworks) - Wikipedia

    Section through railway track and foundation showing the sub-grade. Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, [1] for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage.

    (It may be necessary to calculate the stress to which it is subjected, for example.) On the right, the red cylinder has become the free body. In figure 2, the interest has shifted to just the left half of the red cylinder and so now it is the free body on the right. The example illustrates the context sensitivity of the term "free body".

  8. Levelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelling

    Turning is a term used when referring to moving the level to take an elevation shot from a different location. To "turn" the level, one must first take a reading and record the elevation of the point the rod is located on. While the rod is being kept in exactly the same location, the level is moved to a new location where the rod is still visible.

  9. Orthometric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthometric_height

    For example, gravity is 0.1% stronger in the northern United States than in the southern, so a level surface that has an orthometric height of 1000 meters in one place will be 1001 meters high in other places. In fact, dynamic height is the most appropriate height measure when working with the level of water over a large geographic area. [4]
