  2. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Wikipedia

    The raid has 7 unique bosses and 8 boss fights; the final two both being against Deathwing himself. [27] The new raid came with a third, easier difficulty option for groups formed through the new Raid Finder tool, which is similar to the Dungeon Finder. [28] Three new heroic 5-man dungeons were added: End Time, Well of Eternity and Hour of ...

  3. The Purdue Spatial Visualization Test-Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) is a test of spatial visualization ability published by Roland B. Guay in 1977. [1] Many modifications of the test exist. The test consists of thirty questions of increasing difficulty, the standard time limit is 20 minutes.

  4. Preload (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(engineering)

    Preload is an engineering term with several meanings. In the general sense, it refers to the internal application of stress to certain mechanical systems ...

  5. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    If we condense the skew entries into a vector, (x,y,z), then we produce a 90° rotation around the x-axis for (1, 0, 0), around the y-axis for (0, 1, 0), and around the z-axis for (0, 0, 1). The 180° rotations are just out of reach; for, in the limit as x → ∞ , ( x , 0, 0) does approach a 180° rotation around the x axis, and similarly for ...

  6. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

    Rotation formalisms are focused on proper (orientation-preserving) motions of the Euclidean space with one fixed point, that a rotation refers to.Although physical motions with a fixed point are an important case (such as ones described in the center-of-mass frame, or motions of a joint), this approach creates a knowledge about all motions.

  7. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Both calculate an approximation of the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is discussed here. For a shaft that is divided into n segments, the first natural frequency for a given beam, in rad/s , can be approximated as:

  8. Nutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutation

    Nutation (from Latin nūtātiō ' nodding, swaying ') is a rocking, swaying, or nodding motion in the axis of rotation of a largely axially symmetric object, such as a gyroscope, planet, or bullet in flight, or as an intended behaviour of a mechanism.

  9. Indexing (motion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexing_(motion)

    Indexing in reference to motion is moving (or being moved) into a new position or location quickly and easily but also precisely. When indexing a machine part, its new location is known to within a few hundredths of a millimeter (thousandths of an inch), or often even to within a few thousandths of a millimeter (ten-thousandths of an inch), despite the fact that no elaborate measuring or ...
