  2. Governing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governing_equation

    For example, at the coarsest level, a beam is just a 1D curve whose torque is a function of local curvature. At a more refined level, the beam is a 2D body whose stress-tensor is a function of local strain-tensor, and strain-tensor is a function of its deformation. The equations are then a PDE system.

  3. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    S is the projected (planform) area of the airfoil, measured normal to the mean airflow; n is the normal unit vector pointing into the wing; k is the vertical unit vector, normal to the freestream direction. The above lift equation neglects the skin friction forces, which are small compared to the pressure forces.

  4. Transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function

    In engineering, a transfer function (also known as system function [1] or network function) of a system, sub-system, or component is a mathematical function that models the system's output for each possible input. [2] [3] [4] It is widely used in electronic engineering tools like circuit simulators and control systems.

  5. Linear response function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_response_function

    Because of its many applications in information theory, physics and engineering there exist alternative names for specific linear response functions such as susceptibility, impulse response or impedance; see also transfer function. The concept of a Green's function or fundamental solution of an ordinary differential equation is closely related.

  6. Mechanical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_equilibrium

    The normal force N is equal, opposite, and collinear to the gravitational force mg so the net force and moment is zero. Consequently, the object is in a state of static mechanical equilibrium. In classical mechanics, a particle is in mechanical equilibrium if the net force on that particle is zero.

  7. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    By the Kelvin–Stokes theorem we can rewrite the line integrals of the fields around the closed boundary curve ∂Σ to an integral of the "circulation of the fields" (i.e. their curls) over a surface it bounds, i.e. = (), Hence the Ampère–Maxwell law, the modified version of Ampère's circuital law, in integral form can be rewritten as ((+)) =

  8. Statics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statics

    Hydrostatics, also known as fluid statics, is the study of fluids at rest (i.e. in static equilibrium). The characteristic of any fluid at rest is that the force exerted on any particle of the fluid is the same at all points at the same depth (or altitude) within the fluid.

  9. Conservative force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force

    In physics, a conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done by the force in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken. [1] Equivalently, if a particle travels in a closed loop, the total work done (the sum of the force acting along the path multiplied by the displacement ) by a conservative ...
