  2. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 1: Critical stress vs slenderness ratio for steel, for E = 200 GPa, yield strength = 240 MPa.. Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle.

  3. Trunnion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunnion

    A trunnion (from Old French trognon 'trunk') [1] is a cylindrical protrusion used as a mounting or pivoting point. First associated with cannons, they are an important military development. First associated with cannons, they are an important military development.

    English: Normal values for Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) and Forced Expiratory Flow 25–75% (FEF25–75%). Y-axis is expressed in Litres for FVC and FEV1, and in Litres/second for FEF25–75%. See main article: Wikipedia:Spirometry

  5. Four-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-point_flexural_test

    Values for the flexural strength measured with four-point bending will be significantly lower than with three-point bending., [8] Compared with three-point bending test, this method is more suitable for strength evaluation of butt joint specimens. The advantage of four-point bending test is that a larger portion of the specimen between two ...

  6. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    For small values of these changes, ν is the amount of transversal elongation divided by the amount of axial compression. Most materials have Poisson's ratio values ranging between 0.0 and 0.5. For soft materials, [1] such as rubber, where the bulk modulus is much higher than the shear modulus, Poisson's ratio is near 0.5. For open-cell polymer ...

  7. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. [6]

  8. Principal curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_curvature

    The product k 1 k 2 of the two principal curvatures is the Gaussian curvature, K, and the average (k 1 + k 2)/2 is the mean curvature, H. If at least one of the principal curvatures is zero at every point, then the Gaussian curvature will be 0 and the surface is a developable surface. For a minimal surface, the mean curvature is zero at every ...

  9. Normal (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_(geometry)

    In geometry, a normal is an object (e.g. a line, ray, or vector) that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, the normal line to a plane curve at a given point is the line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point. A normal vector of length one is called a unit normal vector.
