  2. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as the angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.

  3. Straight-line mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-line_mechanism

    The Scott Russell linkage (1803) translates linear motion through a right angle, but is not a straight line mechanism in itself. The Grasshopper beam/Evans linkage , an approximate straight line linkage, and the Bricard linkage, an exact straight line linkage, share similarities with the Scott Russell linkage and the Trammel of Archimedes .

  4. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    Angular frequency (or angular speed) is the magnitude of the pseudovector quantity angular velocity. [1] Angular frequency can be obtained multiplying rotational frequency, ν (or ordinary frequency, f) by a full turn (2 π radians): ω = 2 π rad⋅ν. It can also be formulated as ω = dθ/dt, the instantaneous rate of change of the angular ...

  5. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    To convert the angle domain equations to time domain, first replace A with ωt, and then scale for angular velocity as follows: multiply ′ by ω, and multiply ″ by ω². Velocity maxima and minima

  6. Angular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum , angular velocity , and torque . It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force [ 1 ] and Angular aerodynamics .

  7. Rigid rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_rotor

    The angular velocity satisfies equations of motion known as Euler's equations (with zero applied torque, since by assumption the rotor is in field-free space). It can be shown that ω {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\omega }}} is not the time derivative of any vector, in contrast to the usual definition of velocity .

  8. Angular velocity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity_tensor

    In particular, the spin angular velocity is a Killing vector field belonging to an element of the Lie algebra SO(3) of the 3-dimensional rotation group SO(3). Also, it can be shown that the spin angular velocity vector field is exactly half of the curl of the linear velocity vector field v(r) of the rigid body. In symbols,

  9. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics, the Euler acceleration (named for Leonhard Euler), also known as azimuthal acceleration [8] or transverse acceleration [9] is an acceleration that appears when a non-uniformly rotating reference frame is used for analysis of motion and there is variation in the angular velocity of the reference frame's axis.
