  2. 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 ...

  3. Rigid transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation

    In dimension three, all rigid motions are also screw motions (this is Chasles' theorem) In dimension at most three, any improper rigid transformation can be decomposed into an improper rotation followed by a translation, or into a sequence of reflections. Any object will keep the same shape and size after a proper rigid transformation.

  4. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Contact between a rigid cylindrical indenter and an elastic half-space. If a rigid cylinder is pressed into an elastic half-space, it creates a pressure distribution described by [17] = where is the radius of the cylinder and

  5. Multibody system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibody_system

    Multibody system is the study of the dynamic behavior of interconnected rigid or flexible bodies, each of which may undergo large translational and rotational displacements. Introduction [ edit ]

  6. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    A single rigid body has at most six degrees of freedom (6 DOF) 3T3R consisting of three translations 3T and three rotations 3R. See also Euler angles. For example, the motion of a ship at sea has the six degrees of freedom of a rigid body, and is described as: [2] Translation and rotation: Walking (or surging): Moving forward and backward;

  7. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    Important theorems of screw theory include: the transfer principle proves that geometric calculations for points using vectors have parallel geometric calculations for lines obtained by replacing vectors with screws; [1] Chasles' theorem proves that any change between two rigid object poses can be performed by a single screw; Poinsot's theorem ...

  8. Chasles' theorem (kinematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasles'_theorem_(kinematics)

    In kinematics, Chasles' theorem, or Mozzi–Chasles' theorem, says that the most general rigid body displacement can be produced by a screw displacement. A direct Euclidean isometry in three dimensions involves a translation and a rotation. The screw displacement representation of the isometry decomposes the translation into two components, one ...

  9. Eukaryotic translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_translation

    Eukaryotic translation is the biological process by which messenger RNA is translated into proteins in eukaryotes. It consists of four phases: initiation, elongation, termination, and recapping. It consists of four phases: initiation, elongation, termination, and recapping.
