  2. Stress distribution in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_distribution_in_soil

    Stress distribution in soil is a function of the type of soil, the relative rigidity of the soil and the footing, and the depth of foundation at level of contact between footing and soil. [1] The estimation of vertical stresses at any point in a soil mass due to external loading is essential to the prediction of settlements of buildings ...

  3. Trapezoidal rule (differential equations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule...

    Suppose that we want to solve the differential equation ′ = (,). The trapezoidal rule is given by the formula + = + ((,) + (+, +)), where = + is the step size. [1]This is an implicit method: the value + appears on both sides of the equation, and to actually calculate it, we have to solve an equation which will usually be nonlinear.

  4. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.

  5. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    For each gradually varied flow transition, you must know both boundary conditions and you must also calculate length of that transition. (e.g. For an M1 Profile, you must find the rise at the downstream boundary condition, the normal depth at the upstream boundary condition, and also the length of the transition.)

  6. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  7. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    A right trapezoid (also called right-angled trapezoid) has two adjacent right angles. [13] Right trapezoids are used in the trapezoidal rule for estimating areas under a curve. An acute trapezoid has two adjacent acute angles on its longer base edge. An obtuse trapezoid on the other hand has one acute and one obtuse angle on each base.

  8. Wetted perimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetted_perimeter

    Cross sectional area of a trapezoidal open channel, red highlights wetted perimeter Change of wetted perimeter (blue) of trapezoidal canal as a function of angle ψ.. The wetted perimeter is the perimeter of the cross sectional area that is "wet". [1]

  9. Crank–Nicolson method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank–Nicolson_method

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. The Crank–Nicolson method is based on the trapezoidal rule, giving second-order convergence in time.For linear equations, the trapezoidal rule is equivalent to the implicit midpoint method [citation needed] —the simplest example of a Gauss–Legendre implicit Runge–Kutta method—which also has the property of being a geometric integrator.
