  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. Continuum (measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(measurement)

    In physics, for example, the space-time continuum model describes space and time as part of the same continuum rather than as separate entities. A spectrum in physics, such as the electromagnetic spectrum, is often termed as either continuous (with energy at all wavelengths) or discrete (energy at only certain wavelengths).

  6. Power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

    An integrated power supply is one that shares a common printed circuit board with its load. An external power supply, AC adapter or power brick, is a power supply located in the load's AC power cord that plugs into a wall outlet; a wall wart is an external supply integrated with the outlet plug itself. These are popular in consumer electronics ...

  7. Free molecular flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_molecular_flow

    Gas flow can be grouped in four regimes: For Kn≤0.001, flow is continuous, and the Navier–Stokes equations are applicable, from 0.001<Kn<0.1, slip flow occurs, from 0.1≤Kn<10, transitional flow occurs and for Kn≥10, free molecular flow occurs. [6] In free molecular flow, the pressure of the remaining gas can be considered as effectively ...

  8. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    Brush Electric Company's central power plant with dynamos generating direct current to power arc lamps for public lighting in New York. Beginning operation in December 1880 at 133 West Twenty-Fifth Street, the high voltages it operated at allowed it to power a 2-mile (3.2 km) long circuit.

  9. 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 ).
