  2. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The RC time constant, denoted τ (lowercase tau), the time constant (in seconds) of a resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads): =

  3. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    In physics and engineering, the time constant, usually denoted by the Greek letter τ (tau), is the parameter characterizing the response to a step input of a first-order, linear time-invariant (LTI) system. [1] [note 1] The time constant is the main characteristic unit of a first-order LTI system. It gives speed of the response.

  4. Tau - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau

    Tau (/ ˈ t aʊ, ˈ t ɔː, ˈ t ɒ /; [1] uppercase Τ, lowercase τ or ; Greek: ταυ) is the nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the voiceless dental or alveolar plosive IPA:. In the system of Greek numerals , it has a value of 300.

  5. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

    For instance, if the variable X has a continuous uniform distribution between 0 and 100 and Y is a dichotomous variable equal to 1 if X ≥ 50 and 0 if X < 50, the Tau-c statistic of X and Y is equal to 1 while Tau-b is equal to 0.707. A Tau-C equal to 1 can be interpreted as the best possible positive correlation conditional to marginal ...

  9. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    Shear stress (often denoted by τ, Greek: tau) is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. It arises from the shear force, the component of force vector parallel to the material cross section. Normal stress, on the other hand, arises from the force vector component perpendicular to the material cross section on which it acts.
