  2. Langevin dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langevin_dynamics

    The Langevin equation can be generalized to rotational dynamics of molecules, Brownian particles, etc. A standard (according to NIST [ 5 ] ) way to do it is to leverage a quaternion -based description of the stochastic rotational motion.

  3. Torsion spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_spring

    The force of the spring reverses the direction of rotation, so the wheel oscillates back and forth, driven at the top by the clock's gears. Torsion springs consisting of twisted ropes or sinew, were used to store potential energy to power several types of ancient weapons; including the Greek ballista and the Roman scorpio and catapults like the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_finite_element...

    A generic finite element library written in C++ with interfaces for Python, Matlab and Scilab. It focuses on modeling of contact mechanics and discontinuities (e.g. cracks). Yves Renard, Julien Pommier: 5.4.2: 2022-07: LGPL: Free: Unix, Mac OS X, Windows: Hermes Project: Modular C/C++ library for rapid development of space- and space-time ...

  5. OpenSees - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSees

    OpenSees allows users to create finite element applications for simulating the response of structural and geotechnical systems subjected to earthquakes. This framework was developed by Frank McKenna and Gregory L. Fenves with significant contributions from Michael H. Scott, Terje Haukaas, Armen Der Kiureghian, Remo M. de Souza, Filip C ...

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Noting that any identity matrix is a rotation matrix, and that matrix multiplication is associative, we may summarize all these properties by saying that the n × n rotation matrices form a group, which for n > 2 is non-abelian, called a special orthogonal group, and denoted by SO(n), SO(n,R), SO n, or SO n (R), the group of n × n rotation ...

  7. Series and parallel springs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_springs

    The following table gives formula for the spring that is equivalent to a system of two springs, in series or in parallel, whose spring constants are and . [1] The compliance c {\displaystyle c} of a spring is the reciprocal 1 / k {\displaystyle 1/k} of its spring constant.)

  8. Mass-spring-damper model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-spring-damper_model

    The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity .

  9. Rotational–vibrational coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational–vibrational...

    In the absence of the spring, the particles would fly apart. However, the force exerted by the extended spring pulls the particles onto a periodic, oscillatory path. In physics, rotational–vibrational coupling [1] occurs when the rotation frequency of a system is close to or identical to a natural frequency of internal vibration.
