  2. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    [4] [5] [6] A kinematics problem begins by describing the geometry of the system and declaring the initial conditions of any known values of position, velocity and/or acceleration of points within the system. Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined.

  3. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_(mechanics)

    The problem of compatibility in continuum mechanics involves the determination of allowable single-valued continuous fields on simply connected bodies. More precisely, the problem may be stated in the following manner. [5] Figure 1. Motion of a continuum body. Consider the deformation of a body shown in Figure 1.

  6. Kinematic similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_similarity

    In fluid mechanics, kinematic similarity is described as “the velocity at any point in the model flow is proportional by a constant scale factor to the velocity at the same point in the prototype flow, while it is maintaining the flow’s streamline shape.” [1] Kinematic Similarity is one of the three essential conditions (Geometric Similarity, Dynamic Similarity and Kinematic Similarity ...

  7. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body.

    The final x and y velocities components of the first ball can be calculated as: [5] ′ = ⁡ () + ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡ (+) ′ = ⁡ () + ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡ (+), where v 1 and v 2 are the scalar sizes of the two original speeds of the objects, m 1 and m 2 are their masses, θ 1 and θ 2 are their movement angles, that is, = ⁡, = ⁡ (meaning ...

  9. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The theory was developed in 1888 by Love [2] using assumptions proposed by Kirchhoff. It is assumed that a mid-surface plane can be used to represent the three-dimensional plate in two-dimensional form. The following kinematic assumptions are made in this theory: [3] straight lines normal to the mid-surface remain straight after deformation
