  2. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    The true curve of shape (tangent points) on the ellipsoid is not a circle. The lower part of the diagram shows on the left a parallel projection of an ellipsoid (with semi-axes 60, 40, 30) along an asymptote and on the right a central projection with center V and main point H on the tangent of the hyperbola at point V .

  3. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  4. Spheroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spheroid

    Deformed nuclear shapes occur as a result of the competition between electromagnetic repulsion between protons, surface tension and quantum shell effects. Spheroids are common in 3D cell cultures. Rotating equilibrium spheroids include the Maclaurin spheroid and the Jacobi ellipsoid. Spheroid is also a shape of archaeological artifacts.

  5. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    The given formula is for the plane passing through the center of mass, which coincides with the geometric center of the cylinder. If the xy plane is at the base of the cylinder, i.e. offset by d = h 2 , {\displaystyle d={\frac {h}{2}},} then by the parallel axis theorem the following formula applies:

  6. Jacobi ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_ellipsoid

    Before Jacobi, the Maclaurin spheroid, which was formulated in 1742, was considered to be the only type of ellipsoid which can be in equilibrium. [2] [3] Lagrange in 1811 [4] considered the possibility of a tri-axial ellipsoid being in equilibrium, but concluded that the two equatorial axes of the ellipsoid must be equal, leading back to the solution of Maclaurin spheroid.

  8. Superellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superellipsoid

    Superellipsoid collection with exponent parameters, created using POV-Ray.Here, e = 2/r, and n = 2/t (equivalently, r = 2/e and t = 2/n). [1]In mathematics, a superellipsoid (or super-ellipsoid) is a solid whose horizontal sections are superellipses (Lamé curves) with the same squareness parameter , and whose vertical sections through the center are superellipses with the squareness parameter .

  9. Flattening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattening

    Flattening is a measure of the compression of a circle or sphere along a diameter to form an ellipse or an ellipsoid of revolution respectively. Other terms used are ellipticity , or oblateness . The usual notation for flattening is f {\displaystyle f} and its definition in terms of the semi-axes a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} of ...
