  2. Rigid transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation

    In dimension three, all rigid motions are also screw motions (this is Chasles' theorem) In dimension at most three, any improper rigid transformation can be decomposed into an improper rotation followed by a translation, or into a sequence of reflections. Any object will keep the same shape and size after a proper rigid transformation.

  3. Eukaryotic translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_translation

    Eukaryotic translation is the biological process by which messenger RNA is translated into proteins in eukaryotes. It consists of four phases: initiation, elongation, termination, and recapping. It consists of four phases: initiation, elongation, termination, and recapping.

  4. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure, shape or space by the same distance in a given direction. A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. In a Euclidean space, any translation is ...

  5. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    A rigid-body displacement consists of a simultaneous translation and rotation of the body without changing its shape or size. Deformation implies the change in shape and/or size of the body from an initial or undeformed configuration κ 0 ( B ) {\displaystyle \kappa _{0}({\mathcal {B}})} to a current or deformed configuration κ t ( B ...

  6. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    Serial and parallel manipulator systems are generally designed to position an end-effector with six degrees of freedom, consisting of three in translation and three in orientation. This provides a direct relationship between actuator positions and the configuration of the manipulator defined by its forward and inverse kinematics .

  7. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    The even isometries — identity, rotation, and translation — never do; they correspond to rigid motions, and form a normal subgroup of the full Euclidean group of isometries. Neither the full group nor the even subgroup are abelian ; for example, reversing the order of composition of two parallel mirrors reverses the direction of the ...

  8. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    Deformation are changes in the relative position between internals points on the object, excluding rigid transformations, causing the body to change shape or size. Strain is the relative internal deformation, the dimensionless change in shape of an infinitesimal cube of material relative to a reference configuration.

  9. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...
