  2. Mean squared displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_displacement

    The Mean squared displacement is ... a series of power laws empirically representing the variation of the square root of MSD versus downwind distance are commonly ...

  3. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. [1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory.

  4. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    Absement changes as an object remains displaced and stays constant as the object resides at the initial position. It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement.

  5. Displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement

    Particle displacement, a measurement of distance of the movement of a particle in a medium as it transmits a wave (represented in mathematics by the lower-case Greek letter ξ) Displacement field (mechanics) , an assignment of displacement vectors for all points in a body that is displaced from one state to another

  6. Root mean square deviation of atomic positions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square_deviation...

    where δ i is the distance between atom i and either a reference structure or the mean position of the N equivalent atoms. This is often calculated for the backbone heavy atoms C, N, O, and C α or sometimes just the C α atoms. Normally a rigid superposition which minimizes the RMSD is performed, and this minimum is returned.

  7. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  8. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(physics)

    In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation). [1]

  9. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.
