  2. Macaulay brackets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay_brackets

    This is useful because shear forces applied on a member render the shear and moment diagram discontinuous. Macaulay's notation also provides an easy way of integrating these discontinuous curves to give bending moments, angular deflection, and so on. For engineering purposes, angle brackets are often used to denote the use of Macaulay's method.

  3. Warnier/Orr diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnier/Orr_diagram

    A Warnier/Orr diagram (also known as a logical construction of a program/system) is a kind of hierarchical flowchart that allows the description of the organization of data and procedures. They were initially developed 1976, [1] in France by Jean-Dominique Warnier [2] and in the United States by Kenneth Orr [3] on the foundation of Boolean ...

  4. Bracket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket

    For example: in the usual order of algebraic operations, 4 × 3 + 2 equals 14, since the multiplication is done before the addition. However, 4 × (3 + 2) equals 20, because the parentheses override normal precedence, causing the addition to be done first. Some authors follow the convention in mathematical equations that, when parentheses have ...

    Functional and not injective. For example, the red relation in the diagram is many-to-one, but the green, blue and black ones are not. Many-to-many [d] Not injective nor functional. For example, the black relation in the diagram is many-to-many, but the red, green and blue ones are not. Uniqueness and totality properties: A function [d]

  6. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    The issuance of a drawing from the engineering/design activity to the production activity. In other words, the event when a draft becomes a completed, official document. A stamp on the drawing saying "ISSUED" documents that RTP has occurred. RTV: room-temperature vulcanizing; return to vendor: 1. RTV sealants, a way to seal joints. 2.

  7. Figure-eight knot (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot...

    This construction, new at the time, led him to many powerful results and methods. For example, he was able to show that all but ten Dehn surgeries on the figure-eight knot resulted in non-Haken, non-Seifert-fibered irreducible 3-manifolds; these were the first such examples. Many more have been discovered by generalizing Thurston's construction ...

  8. Mechanical systems drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_systems_drawing

    Mechanical systems drawing is a type of technical drawing that shows information about heating, ventilating, air conditioning and transportation (elevators and escalators) around a building. [1] It is a tool that helps analyze complex systems.

  9. Coxeter notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxeter_notation

    In geometry, Coxeter notation (also Coxeter symbol) is a system of classifying symmetry groups, describing the angles between fundamental reflections of a Coxeter group in a bracketed notation expressing the structure of a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with modifiers to indicate certain subgroups.
