  2. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

  3. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point (,,, …,) and is parallel to the vector

  4. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    The effective compliance at a point for the elastic plastic case is taken as the slope of the line joining the point and origin (i.e the compliance if the material was an elastic one). This effective compliance is used to get an effective crack growth and the rest of the calculation follows the equation

  5. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    The value of the line function at this midpoint is the sole determinant of which point should be chosen. The adjacent image shows the blue point (2,2) chosen to be on the line with two candidate points in green (3,2) and (3,3). The black point (3, 2.5) is the midpoint between the two candidate points.

  6. Fatigue (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)

    The crack initiation range in metals is propagation, and there is a significant quantitative difference in rate while the difference appears to be less apparent with composites. [54] Fatigue cracks of composites may form in the matrix and propagate slowly since the matrix carries such a small fraction of the applied stress.

  7. Lifting-line theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting-line_theory

    Lifting line theory supposes wings that are long and thin with negligible fuselage, akin to a thin bar (the eponymous "lifting line") of span 2s driven through the fluid. . From the Kutta–Joukowski theorem, the lift L(y) on a 2-dimensional segment of the wing at distance y from the fuselage is proportional to the circulation Γ(y) about the bar a

  8. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    When this is written using the symmetrical ratio notation, a horizontal line has slope : and a vertical line has slope : However, if the slope is taken to be a single real number then a horizontal line has slope 0 1 = 0 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {0}{1}}=0} while a vertical line has an undefined slope, since in real-number arithmetic the quotient 1 ...

  9. Cubic Hermite spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_Hermite_spline

    The four Hermite basis functions. The interpolant in each subinterval is a linear combination of these four functions. On the unit interval [,], given a starting point at = and an ending point at = with starting tangent at = and ending tangent at =, the polynomial can be defined by = (+) + (+) + (+) + (), where t ∈ [0, 1].
