  2. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Diagram of an educational toy that balances on a point: the center of mass (C) settles below its support (P) A body's center of gravity is the point around which the resultant torque due to gravity forces vanishes. [13] Where a gravity field can be considered to be uniform, the mass-center and the center-of-gravity will be the same.

  3. Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington–Finkelstein...

    When plotting Eddington–Finkelstein diagrams, surfaces of constant u or v are usually drawn as cones, with u or v constant lines drawn as sloping at 45 degree rather than as planes (see for instance Box 31.2 of MTW). Some sources instead take ′ = (), corresponding to planar surfaces in such diagrams.

  4. Proportion (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(architecture)

    In classical architecture, proportions were set by the radii of columns. Proportion is a central principle of architectural theory and an important connection between mathematics and art . It is the visual effect of the relationship of the various objects and spaces that make up a structure to one another and to the whole.

  5. Form (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_(architecture)

    Historically, multiple approaches were suggested to address the reflection of the structure in the appearance of the architectural form. In the 19th-century Germany, Karl Friedrich Schinkel suggested that the structural elements shall remain visible in the forms to create a satisfying feeling of strength and security, [3] while Karl Bötticher as part of his "tectonics" suggested splitting the ...

  6. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.

  7. Centroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid

    Centroid of a triangle. In mathematics and physics, the centroid, also known as geometric center or center of figure, of a plane figure or solid figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the points in the surface of the figure.

  8. Derivation of the Schwarzschild solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the...

    This diagram gives the route to find the Schwarzschild solution by using the weak field approximation. The equality on the second row gives g 44 = −c 2 + 2GM/r, assuming the desired solution degenerates to Minkowski metric when the motion happens far away from the blackhole (r approaches to positive infinity).

  9. Radial basis function network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_basis_function_network

    Radial basis function (RBF) networks typically have three layers: an input layer, a hidden layer with a non-linear RBF activation function and a linear output layer. The input can be modeled as a vector of real numbers x ∈ R n {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {R} ^{n}} .
