Force-directed graph drawing algorithms assign forces among the set of edges and the set of nodes of a graph drawing.Typically, spring-like attractive forces based on Hooke's law are used to attract pairs of endpoints of the graph's edges towards each other, while simultaneously repulsive forces like those of electrically charged particles based on Coulomb's law are used to separate all pairs ...
Once the global stiffness matrix, displacement vector, and force vector have been constructed, the system can be expressed as a single matrix equation. For each degree of freedom in the structure, either the displacement or the force is known.
The Unit dummy force method provides a convenient means for computing displacements in structural systems. It is applicable for both linear and non-linear material behaviours as well as for systems subject to environmental effects, and hence more general than Castigliano's second theorem .
Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)
here is the mass matrix, is the damping matrix, and are internal force per unit displacement and external forces, respectively. Using the extended mean value theorem , the Newmark- β {\displaystyle \beta } method states that the first time derivative (velocity in the equation of motion ) can be solved as,
where (,,) are the coordinates of a point in the beam, ,, are the components of the displacement vector in the three coordinate directions, is the angle of rotation of the normal to the mid-surface of the beam, and is the displacement of the mid-surface in the -direction.
Plot of Load vs. Displacement. The energy release rate is defined [3] as the instantaneous loss of total potential energy per unit crack growth area , , where the total potential energy is written in terms of the total strain energy , surface traction , displacement , and body force by
Displacement compatibility, including any required discontinuity, is ensured at the nodes, and preferably, along the element edges as well, particularly when adjacent elements are of different types, material or thickness. Compatibility of displacements of many nodes can usually be imposed via constraint relations.
