  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Power-flow study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-flow_study

    In power engineering, the power-flow study, or load-flow study, is a numerical analysis of the flow of electric power in an interconnected system. A power-flow study usually uses simplified notations such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various aspects of AC power parameters, such as Voltage, voltage angles, real power and reactive power.

  8. Path analysis (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_analysis_(statistics)

    In statistics, path analysis is used to describe the directed dependencies among a set of variables. This includes models equivalent to any form of multiple regression analysis, factor analysis, canonical correlation analysis, discriminant analysis, as well as more general families of models in the multivariate analysis of variance and covariance analyses (MANOVA, ANOVA, ANCOVA).

  9. 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.
