  2. Rigid transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation

    Any object will keep the same shape and size after a proper rigid transformation. All rigid transformations are examples of affine transformations. The set of all (proper and improper) rigid transformations is a mathematical group called the Euclidean group, denoted E(n) for n-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The set of rigid motions is called the ...

  3. Rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigidity

    Rigidity (electromagnetism), the resistance of a charged particle to deflection by a magnetic field; Rigidity (mathematics), a property of a collection of mathematical objects (for instance sets or functions) Rigid body, in physics, a simplification of the concept of an object to allow for modelling

  4. Rigidity (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigidity_(electromagnetism)

    In particle physics, rigidity is a measure of the resistance of a particle to deflection by magnetic fields, defined as the particle's momentum divided by its charge. For a fully ionised nucleus moving at relativistic speed, this is equivalent to the energy per atomic number.

  5. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation). [1]

  6. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    A force arrow should lie along the line of force, but where along the line is irrelevant. A force on an extended rigid body is a sliding vector. non-rigid extended. The point of application of a force becomes crucial and has to be indicated on the diagram. A force on a non-rigid body is a bound vector. Some use the tail of the arrow to indicate ...

  7. Structural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_rigidity

    Rigidity is the property of a structure that it does not bend or flex under an applied force. The opposite of rigidity is flexibility.In structural rigidity theory, structures are formed by collections of objects that are themselves rigid bodies, often assumed to take simple geometric forms such as straight rods (line segments), with pairs of objects connected by flexible hinges.

  8. Classical electromagnetism and special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism...

    The above relativistic transformations suggest the electric and magnetic fields are coupled together, in a mathematical object with 6 components: an antisymmetric second-rank tensor, or a bivector. This is called the electromagnetic field tensor, usually written as F μν. In matrix form: [13]

  9. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    Thus the term () is the rate of transformation of kinetic energy to magnetic energy. This has to be non-negative at least in part of the volume, for the dynamo to produce magnetic field. [19] From the diagram above, it is not clear why this term should be positive. A simple argument can be based on consideration of net effects. To create the ...
