  2. Fixed position assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_position_assembly

    Tractor being assembled stands still, while workers and tools move to complete required operations. Fixed position assembly refers to an assembly system or situation in which the product does not move while being assembled, this configuration is usually contrasted in operations management and industrial engineering with assembly lines.

  3. Longitudinal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_stability

    If the aircraft has zero longitudinal static stability it is said to be statically neutral, and the position of its center of gravity is called the neutral point. [4]: 27 The longitudinal static stability of an aircraft depends on the location of its center of gravity relative to the neutral point.

  4. Vertical stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_stabilizer

    The vertical stabilizer is the fixed vertical surface of the empennage. A vertical stabilizer or tail fin [1] [2] is the static part of the vertical tail of an aircraft. [1] The term is commonly applied to the assembly of both this fixed surface and one or more movable rudders hinged to it. Their role is to provide control, stability and trim ...

  5. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    A fixed-wing aircraft, with 3–4 control DOFs (forward motion, roll, pitch, and to a limited extent, yaw) in a 3-D space, is also non-holonomic, as it cannot move directly up/down or left/right. A summary of formulas and methods for computing the degrees-of-freedom in mechanical systems has been given by Pennestri, Cavacece, and Vita.

  6. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Rotation around a fixed axis or axial rotation is a special case of rotational motion around an axis of rotation fixed, stationary, or static in three-dimensional space.This type of motion excludes the possibility of the instantaneous axis of rotation changing its orientation and cannot describe such phenomena as wobbling or precession.

  7. Statics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statics

    The position of the point relative to the foundations on which a body lies determines its stability in response to external forces. If the center of gravity exists outside the foundations, then the body is unstable because there is a torque acting: any small disturbance will cause the body to fall or topple.

  8. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    The roof is also a dead load. Dead loads are also known as permanent or static loads. Building materials are not dead loads until constructed in permanent position. [8] [9] [10] IS875(part 1)-1987 give unit weight of building materials, parts, components.

  9. Rigid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body

    The position of the whole body is represented by: the linear position or position of the body, namely the position of one of the particles of the body, specifically chosen as a reference point (typically coinciding with the center of mass or centroid of the body), together with; the angular position (also known as orientation, or attitude) of ...
