  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. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart) is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...

  7. Continuity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_test

    In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker) across the chosen path.

  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. 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.
