  2. Zigzag transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigzag_transformer

    The purpose of a zigzag transformer in this application is to provide a return path for earth faults on delta-connected systems. With negligible current in the neutral under normal conditions, an undersized (unable to carry a continuous fault load) transformer may be used only as short-time rating is required, provided the defective load will ...

  3. Load path analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_path_analysis

    Load path analysis is a technique of mechanical and structural engineering used to determine the path of maximum stress in a non-uniform load-bearing member in response to an applied load. Load path analysis can be used to minimize the material needed in the load-bearing member to support the design load. Load path analysis may be performed ...

  4. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    The motion of a continuum body is a continuous time sequence of displacements. Thus, the material body will occupy different configurations at different times so that a particle occupies a series of points in space which describe a path line. There is continuity during motion or deformation of a continuum body in the sense that:

  5. Utilization categories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilization_categories

    In particular, the stress on the switching path caused by current and voltage during switching on and off is of enormous importance. For example, the switch-on and switch-off current at resistance load corresponds to the continuous operating current, while, for example, squirrel cage motors consumes multiple of the rated operating current ...

  6. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    In this case, charging current will be continuous and decline exponentially to the load current. For open circuit, the capacitor will be charged to the DC voltage. Safeguarding against the filter capacitor’s charging period’s initial current inrush flow is crucial for the performance of the device.

  7. Moving load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_load

    Inertial load in numerical models is described in [5] Unexpected property of differential equations that govern the motion of the mass particle travelling on the string, Timoshenko beam, and Mindlin plate is described in. [ 6 ] It is the discontinuity of the mass trajectory near the end of the span (well visible in string at the speed v =0.5 c ).

  8. Homotopy lifting property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_lifting_property

    In mathematics, in particular in homotopy theory within algebraic topology, the homotopy lifting property (also known as an instance of the right lifting property or the covering homotopy axiom) is a technical condition on a continuous function from a topological space E to another one, B.

  9. Jordan curve theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_curve_theorem

    A Jordan arc in the plane is the image of an injective continuous map of a closed and bounded interval [a, b] into the plane. It is a plane curve that is not necessarily smooth nor algebraic. Alternatively, a Jordan curve is the image of a continuous map φ: [0,1] → R 2 such that φ(0) = φ(1) and the restriction of φ to [0,1) is
