  2. Davenport chained rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_chained_rotations

    Image 1: Davenport possible axes for steps 1 and 3 given Z as the step 2. The general problem of decomposing a rotation into three composed movements about intrinsic axes was studied by P. Davenport, under the name "generalized Euler angles", but later these angles were named "Davenport angles" by M. Shuster and L. Markley.

    To see this, [1] let the distance between B and J be 2a. By translation and rotation, take B = (–a, 0) and J the line x = a. Let P = (x, y) and let ψ be the angle between SB and the x-axis; this is equal to the angle between ST and J. By construction, PT = a, so the distance from P to J is a sin ψ. In other words a – x = a sin ψ.

    angle of attack α: angle between the x w,y w-plane and the aircraft longitudinal axis and, among other things, is an important variable in determining the magnitude of the force of lift; When performing the rotations described earlier to obtain the body frame from the Earth frame, there is this analogy between angles: β, ψ (sideslip vs yaw)

    For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin θ < θ. So we have ⁡ < <. For negative values of θ we have, by the symmetry of the sine function

  6. Darcy (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_(unit)

    A medium with a permeability of 1 darcy permits a flow of 1 cm 3 /s of a fluid with viscosity 1 cP (1 mPa·s) under a pressure gradient of 1 atm/cm acting across an area of 1 cm 2. Typical values of permeability range as high as 100,000 darcys for gravel, to less than 0.01 microdarcy for granite. Sand has a permeability of approximately 1 darcy ...

  8. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    If the points are sequentially numbered and located at positions r 1, r 2, r 3, etc. then bond vectors are defined by u 1 = r 2 − r 1, u 2 = r 3 − r 2, and u i = r i+1 − r i, more generally. [2] This is the case for kinematic chains or amino acids in a protein structure. In these cases, one is often interested in the half-planes defined ...

    The resulting orientation of Body 3-2-1 sequence (around the capitalized axis in the illustration of Tait–Bryan angles) is equivalent to that of lab 1-2-3 sequence (around the lower-cased axis), where the airplane is rolled first (lab-x axis), and then nosed up around the horizontal lab-y axis, and finally rotated around the vertical lab-z ...
