  2. Shear flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_flow

    Q x, the first moment of area (aka statical moment) about the neutral axis x for the cross section of the structure above the depth in question I x, the second moment of area (aka moment of inertia) about the neutral axis x for the structure (a function only of the shape of the structure)

  3. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the movement of the rigid system and through the center of mass is known as the polar moment of inertia. Specifically, it is the second moment of mass with respect to the orthogonal distance from an axis (or pole).

  4. Vertical line test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_line_test

    The vertical line test, shown graphically. The abscissa shows the domain of the (to be tested) function. In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x.

  5. Second polar moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_polar_moment_of_area

    The second polar moment of area, also known (incorrectly, colloquially) as "polar moment of inertia" or even "moment of inertia", is a quantity used to describe resistance to torsional deformation (), in objects (or segments of an object) with an invariant cross-section and no significant warping or out-of-plane deformation.

  6. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_dynamics

    The distinction is made between the dynamic and the static analysis on the basis of whether the applied action has enough acceleration in comparison to the structure's natural frequency. If a load is applied sufficiently slowly, the inertia forces (Newton's first law of motion) can be ignored and the analysis can be simplified as static analysis.

  7. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    An accelerated frame of reference is often delineated as being the "primed" frame, and all variables that are dependent on that frame are notated with primes, e.g. x′, y′, a′. The vector from the origin of an inertial reference frame to the origin of an accelerated reference frame is commonly notated as R.

  8. Added mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Added_mass

    In fluid mechanics, added mass or virtual mass is the inertia added to a system because an accelerating or decelerating body must move (or deflect) some volume of surrounding fluid as it moves through it. Added mass is a common issue because the object and surrounding fluid cannot occupy the same physical space simultaneously.

  9. Dependency graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_graph

    In mathematics, computer science and digital electronics, a dependency graph is a directed graph representing dependencies of several objects towards each other. It is possible to derive an evaluation order or the absence of an evaluation order that respects the given dependencies from the dependency graph.
