  2. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Roller bearings are the earliest known type of rolling-element-bearing, dating back to at least 40 BC. Common roller bearings use cylinders of slightly greater length than diameter. Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a lower capacity and higher friction under axial loads.

  3. Torsion (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_(algebra)

    In mathematics, specifically in ring theory, a torsion element is an element of a module that yields zero when multiplied by some non-zero-divisor of the ring.The torsion submodule of a module is the submodule formed by the torsion elements (in cases when this is indeed a submodule, such as when the ring is commutative).

  4. Group ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_ring

    Let be a group, written multiplicatively, and let be a ring. The group ring of over , which we will denote by [], or simply , is the set of mappings : of finite support (() is nonzero for only finitely many elements ), where the module scalar product of a scalar in and a mapping is defined as the mapping (), and the module group sum of two mappings and is defined as the mapping () + ().

  5. Annihilator (ring theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilator_(ring_theory)

    In mathematics, the annihilator of a subset S of a module over a ring is the ideal formed by the elements of the ring that give always zero when multiplied by each element of S. Over an integral domain, a module that has a nonzero annihilator is a torsion module, and a finitely generated torsion module has a nonzero annihilator.

  6. Module (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a module is a generalization of the notion of vector space in which the field of scalars is replaced by a (not necessarily commutative) ring. The concept of a module also generalizes the notion of an abelian group , since the abelian groups are exactly the modules over the ring of integers .

  7. Graded ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded_ring

    Given an ideal I in a commutative ring R and an R-module M, the direct sum = / + is a graded module over the associated graded ring / +. A morphism f : N → M {\displaystyle f:N\to M} of graded modules, called a graded morphism or graded homomorphism , is a homomorphism of the underlying modules that respects grading; i.e., ⁠ f ( N i ) ⊆ M ...

  8. Orientation (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Changing orientation of a rigid body is the same as rotating the axes of a reference frame attached to it.. In geometry, the orientation, attitude, bearing, direction, or angular position of an object – such as a line, plane or rigid body – is part of the description of how it is placed in the space it occupies.
