  2. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  3. Steinmetz curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_curve

    Steinmetz curves for various cases Steinmetz solid (intersection of two cylinders) involving Steinmetz curves (purple). A Steinmetz curve is the curve of intersection of two right circular cylinders of radii and , whose axes intersect perpendicularly.

  4. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.

  5. Intersection curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_curve

    The intersection of two planes. The analytic determination of the intersection curve of two surfaces is easy only in simple cases; for example: a) the intersection of two planes, b) plane section of a quadric (sphere, cylinder, cone, etc.), c) intersection of two quadrics in special cases. For the general case, literature provides algorithms ...

  6. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    The precision of volume measurements in the ancient period usually ranges between 10–50 mL (0.3–2 US fl oz; 0.4–2 imp fl oz). [4]: 8 The earliest evidence of volume calculation came from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as mathematical problems, approximating volume of simple shapes such as cuboids, cylinders, frustum and cones.

  7. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    In the 3rd century BC, Archimedes, using a method resembling Cavalieri's principle, [5] was able to find the volume of a sphere given the volumes of a cone and cylinder in his work The Method of Mechanical Theorems. In the 5th century AD, Zu Chongzhi and his son Zu Gengzhi established a similar method to find a sphere's volume. [2]

  8. Volume fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_fraction

    It is the same concept as volume percent (vol%) except that the latter is expressed with a denominator of 100, e.g., 18%. The volume fraction coincides with the volume concentration in ideal solutions where the volumes of the constituents are additive (the volume of the solution is equal to the sum of the volumes of its ingredients).

  9. Bounding volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume

    For example, two capsules intersect if the distance between the capsules' segments is smaller than the sum of their radii. This holds for arbitrarily rotated capsules, which is why they're more appealing than cylinders in practice. A bounding cylinder is a cylinder containing the object. In most applications the axis of the cylinder is aligned ...
