  2. Moment (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph.If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass, and the second moment is the moment of inertia.

  3. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    Moment of inertia, denoted by I, measures the extent to which an object resists rotational acceleration about a particular axis; it is the rotational analogue to mass (which determines an object's resistance to linear acceleration). The moments of inertia of a mass have units of dimension ML 2 ([mass] × [length] 2).

  4. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    Note on second moment of area: The moment of inertia of a body moving in a plane and the second moment of area of a beam's cross-section are often confused. The moment of inertia of a body with the shape of the cross-section is the second moment of this area about the z {\displaystyle z} -axis perpendicular to the cross-section, weighted by its ...

  6. Hamburger moment problem - Wikipedia

    So in this case the solution to the Hamburger moment problem is unique and μ, being the spectral measure of T, has finite support. More generally, the solution is unique if there are constants C and D such that, for all n, | m n | ≤ CD n n! (Reed & Simon 1975, p. 205). This follows from the more general Carleman's condition.

    Statics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the analysis of force and torque acting on a physical system that does not experience an acceleration, but rather is in equilibrium with its environment.

    (0) real beam, (1) shear and moment, (2) conjugate beam, (3) slope and displacement The conjugate-beam methods is an engineering method to derive the slope and displacement of a beam. A conjugate beam is defined as an imaginary beam with the same dimensions (length) as that of the original beam but load at any point on the conjugate beam is ...
