  2. Course deviation indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Course_deviation_indicator

    A course deviation indicator (CDI) [1] is an avionics instrument used in aircraft navigation to determine an aircraft's lateral position in relation to a course to or from a radio navigation beacon. If the location of the aircraft is to the left of this course, the needle deflects to the right, and vice versa.

  3. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load. It may be quantified in terms of an angle (angular displacement) or a distance (linear displacement).

  4. Full scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_scale

    Since binary integer representation range is asymmetrical, full scale is defined using the maximum positive value that can be represented. [1] [2] For example, 16-bit PCM audio is centered on the value 0, and can contain values from −32,768 to +32,767. A signal is at full-scale if it reaches from −32,767 to +32,767.

  5. Operating deflection shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_Deflection_Shape

    Operating deflection shape (ODS), is a term often used in the structural vibration analysis, known as ODS analysis.ODS analysis is a method used for visualisation of the vibration pattern of a machine or structure as influenced by its own operating forces.

  6. Sandwich theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_theory

    Bending of a sandwich beam. The total deflection is the sum of a bending part w b and a shear part w s Shear strains during the bending of a sandwich beam. Let the sandwich beam be subjected to a bending moment and a shear force . Let the total deflection of the beam due to these loads be .

  7. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    The Excel application then employs custom macroinstructions to calculate the trajectory variables of interest. A modified 4th order Runge–Kutta integration algorithm is used. Like Pejsa, Colonel Manges claims center-fired rifle accuracies to the nearest one tenth of an inch for bullet position, and nearest foot per second for the projectile ...

  8. Children's Depression Inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Depression...

    The Children's Depression Inventory (CDI and CDI2) is a psychological assessment that rates the severity of symptoms related to depression or dysthymic disorder in children and adolescents. [1] The CDI is a 27-item scale that is self-rated and symptom-oriented. [1] The assessment is now in its second edition.

  9. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Besides deflection, the beam equation describes forces and moments and can thus be used to describe stresses. For this reason, the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation is widely used in engineering , especially civil and mechanical, to determine the strength (as well as deflection) of beams under bending.
