  2. Parasternal heave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasternal_heave

    A parasternal heave, lift, [1] or thrust [2] is a precordial impulse that may be felt (palpated) in patients with cardiac or respiratory disease. Precordial impulses are visible or palpable pulsations of the chest wall, which originate on the heart or the great vessels .

    Moving up and down on the Z-axis. (Heave) Rotational envelopes: Tilting side to side on the X-axis. Tilting forward and backward on the Y-axis. Turning left and right on the Z-axis. In terms of a headset, such as the kind used for virtual reality, rotational envelopes can also be thought of in the following terms: Pitch: Nodding "yes"

  4. Ship motions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_motions

    The vertical/Z axis, or yaw axis, is an imaginary line running vertically through the ship and through its centre of mass.A yaw motion is a side-to side movement of the bow and stern of the ship.

  5. Fault (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_(geology)

    A section of a hanging wall or foot wall where a thrust fault formed along a relatively weak bedding plane is known as a flat and a section where the thrust fault cut upward through the stratigraphic sequence is known as a ramp. [24] Typically, thrust faults move within formations by forming flats and climbing up sections with ramps. This ...

    The patient is positioned in the supine position tilted up at 45 degrees if the patient can tolerate this. The head should rest on a pillow and the arms by their sides. The level of the jugular venous pressure (JVP) should only be commented on in this position as flatter or steeper angles lead to artificially elevated or reduced level respectively.

    Engine Origin Designer Vehicle Status Use Propellant Power cycle Specific impulse (s) [a] Thrust (N) [a] Chamber pressure (bar) Mass (kg) Thrust: weight ratio [b] Oxidiser: fuel ratio

  8. Thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust

    If a powered aircraft is generating thrust T and experiencing drag D, the difference between the two, T − D, is termed the excess thrust. The instantaneous performance of the aircraft is mostly dependent on the excess thrust. Excess thrust is a vector and is determined as the vector difference between the thrust vector and the drag vector.

  9. Forces on sails - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    Likewise, net aerodynamic force may be decomposed into the three translational directions with respect to a boat's course over the surface: surge (forward/astern), sway (starboard/port—relevant to leeway), and heave (up/down).
