  2. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  3. Kirchhoff–Love plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff–Love_plate_theory

    The Kirchhoff–Love theory of plates is a two-dimensional mathematical model that is used to determine the stresses and deformations in thin plates subjected to forces and moments. This theory is an extension of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and was developed in 1888 by Love [1] using assumptions proposed by Kirchhoff. The theory assumes that a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_(mechanics)

    For two-dimensional, plane strain problems the strain-displacement relations are = ; = [+] ; = Repeated differentiation of these relations, in order to remove the displacements and , gives us the two-dimensional compatibility condition for strains

  5. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    From this point of view the kinematics equations can be used in two different ways. The first called forward kinematics uses specified values for the joint parameters to compute the end-effector position and orientation. The second called inverse kinematics uses the position and orientation of the end-effector to compute the joint parameters ...

  6. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Kinematic constraints can be considered to have two basic forms, (i) constraints that arise from hinges, sliders and cam joints that define the construction of the system, called holonomic constraints, and (ii) constraints imposed on the velocity of the system such as the knife-edge constraint of ice-skates on a flat plane, or rolling without ...

  7. Analytical mechanics - Wikipedia

    The two-body problem is solved by formulas involving parameters; their values can be changed to study the class of all solutions, that is, the mathematical structure of the problem. Moreover, an accurate mental or drawn picture can be made for the motion of two bodies, and it can be as real and accurate as the real bodies moving and interacting.

  8. Paden–Kahan subproblems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paden–Kahan_subproblems

    The subproblem yields two solutions in the event that the circles intersect at two points; one solution if the circles are tangential; and no solution if the circles fail to intersect. Let ξ 1 {\textstyle \xi _{1}} and ξ 2 {\textstyle \xi _{2}} be two zero-pitch twists with unit magnitude and intersecting axes.

  9. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    It is assumed that a mid-surface plane can be used to represent the three-dimensional plate in two-dimensional form. The following kinematic assumptions are made in this theory: [3] straight lines normal to the mid-surface remain straight after deformation; straight lines normal to the mid-surface remain normal to the mid-surface after deformation
