  2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    The end fixed rigidly to the central fuselage is known as the root and the far end as the tip. In flight, the wings generate lift and the spars carry this load through to the fuselage. To resist horizontal shear stress from either drag or engine thrust, the wing must also form a stiff cantilever in the horizontal plane.

  3. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    In general, exact solutions for cantilever plates using plate theory are quite involved and few exact solutions can be found in the literature. Reissner and Stein [7] provide a simplified theory for cantilever plates that is an improvement over older theories such as Saint-Venant plate theory.

  4. End-plate potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-plate_potential

    End plate potentials (EPPs) are the voltages which cause depolarization of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. They are called "end plates" because the postsynaptic terminals of muscle fibers have a large, saucer-like appearance.

  5. Moving heat source model for thin plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_heat_source_model...

    In the 1930s metallurgists Albert Portevin and D. Seferian attempted to experimentally determine heat transfer characteristics in welding. [1] They correlated the effects of several factors—material properties, welding process, and part dimensions—on temperature distribution, by performing oxyacetylene (gas) and covered electrode (arc) welds on plates and bars of various profiles, and ...

  6. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces and moments. The amount of deflection can be determined by solving the differential equations of an appropriate plate theory .

  7. Moment distribution method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_distribution_method

    When a joint is released, balancing moment occurs to counterbalance the unbalanced moment. The balancing moment is initially the same as the fixed-end moment. This balancing moment is then carried over to the member's other end. The ratio of the carried-over moment at the other end to the fixed-end moment of the initial end is the carryover factor.

  8. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    The case for an oscillating far-field flow, with the plate held at rest, can easily be constructed from the previous solution for an oscillating plate by using linear superposition of solutions. Consider a uniform velocity oscillation u ( ∞ , t ) = U ∞ cos ⁡ ω t {\displaystyle u(\infty ,t)=U_{\infty }\cos \omega t} far away from the ...

  9. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    The following two problems demonstrate the finite element method. P1 is a one-dimensional problem : {″ = (,), = =, where is given, is an unknown function of , and ″ is the second derivative of with respect to .
