  2. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The coordinates of points in a plane are two-dimensional vectors in R 2 (two dimensional space). Rigid transformations are those that preserve the distance between any two points. The set of rigid transformations in an n -dimensional space is called the special Euclidean group on R n , and denoted SE( n ) .

  3. Cognate linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognate_linkage

    If and only if the original is a Class I chain (+) < (+) Both 4-bar cognates will be class I chains. If the original is a drag-link ( double crank ), both cognates will be drag links. If the original is a crank-rocker , one cognate will be a crank-rocker, and the second will be a double-rocker.

  4. Kinematics of the cuboctahedron - Wikipedia

    But he was the first to stress the importance of the cuboctahedron's radial equilateral symmetry which he applied structurally (and patented) as the octet truss, intuiting that it plays a fundamental role not only in structural integrity but in the dimensional relationships between polytopes. He discovered the symmetry transformations of the ...

  5. 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.

  6. Kinematic synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_synthesis

    Kinematic synthesis for a mechanical system is described as having three general phases, known as type synthesis, number synthesis and dimensional synthesis. [3] Type synthesis matches the general characteristics of a mechanical system to the task at hand, selecting from an array of devices such as a cam-follower mechanism, linkage, gear train ...

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics, while the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics. If an object is not in motion relative to a given frame of reference, it is said to be at rest , motionless , immobile , stationary , or to have a constant ...

  8. Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    There are two important special cases: (i) a simple open chain, and (ii) a simple closed chain. A simple open chain consists of moving links connected end to end by joints, with one end connected to a ground link. Thus, in this case = + and the mobility of the chain is

  9. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    Studies of two-dimensional collisions are conducted for many bodies in the framework of a two-dimensional gas. Two-dimensional elastic collision. In a center of momentum frame at any time the velocities of the two bodies are in opposite directions, with magnitudes inversely proportional to the masses. In an elastic collision these magnitudes do ...
