  2. Morison equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morison_equation

    The Morison equation contains two empirical hydrodynamic coefficients—an inertia coefficient and a drag coefficient—which are determined from experimental data. As shown by dimensional analysis and in experiments by Sarpkaya, these coefficients depend in general on the Keulegan–Carpenter number , Reynolds number and surface roughness .

  3. Cylindrical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_harmonics

    The cylindrical harmonics for (k,n) are now the product of these solutions and the general solution to Laplace's equation is given by a linear combination of these solutions: (,,) = | | (,) (,) where the () are constants with respect to the cylindrical coordinates and the limits of the summation and integration are determined by the boundary ...

  4. Fuller calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller_calculator

    The Fuller calculator, sometimes called Fuller's cylindrical slide rule, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. This creates an instrument of considerable precision – it is equivalent to a traditional slide rule 25.40 metres (1,000 inches) long.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_in_cylindrical_and...

    This article uses the standard notation ISO 80000-2, which supersedes ISO 31-11, for spherical coordinates (other sources may reverse the definitions of θ and φ): . The polar angle is denoted by [,]: it is the angle between the z-axis and the radial vector connecting the origin to the point in question.

  6. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    An example of a simple open chain is a serial robot manipulator. These robotic systems are constructed from a series of links connected by six one degree-of-freedom revolute or prismatic joints, so the system has six degrees of freedom. An example of a simple closed chain is the RSSR spatial four-bar linkage.

  7. Revolute joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolute_joint

    The contact between the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces is usually assumed to be frictionless. But some use simplified models assume linear viscous damping in the form T = B ω {\displaystyle T=B\,\omega } , where T is the friction torque , ω is the relative angular velocity , and B is the friction constant.

  8. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The equations of translational kinematics can easily be extended to planar rotational kinematics for constant angular acceleration with simple variable exchanges: = + = + = (+) = + (). Here θ i and θ f are, respectively, the initial and final angular positions, ω i and ω f are, respectively, the initial and final angular velocities, and α ...

  9. Parabolic cylinder function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_cylinder_function

    Parabolic cylinder () function appears naturally in the Schrödinger equation for the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator (a quantum particle in the oscillator potential), [+] = (), where is the reduced Planck constant, is the mass of the particle, is the coordinate of the particle, is the frequency of the oscillator, is the energy, and () is the particle's wave-function.
