  2. Second polar moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_polar_moment_of_area

    Where the planar second moment of area describes an object's resistance to deflection when subjected to a force applied to a plane parallel to the central axis, the polar second moment of area describes an object's resistance to deflection when subjected to a moment applied in a plane perpendicular to the object's central axis (i.e. parallel to ...

  3. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    The only line that fills the requirement is a line colinear with link P 1-A. Somewhere on this line there is a point P, the instant center of rotation for the body BAC. What applies to point A also applies to point B, therefore this instant center of rotation P is located on a line perpendicular to vector V B, a line colinear with link P 2-B.

  4. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    It is the intersection point of lines that may not meet on the finished part, such as the tangent lines of a curve or the theoretical sharp corner (TSC) that edge-breaking and deburring will remove. See also SC, TSC, and AC. P.F. press fit: A fastening or mating between two parts which is achieved by friction after the parts are pushed together

  5. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    Note on second moment of area: The moment of inertia of a body moving in a plane and the second moment of area of a beam's cross-section are often confused. The moment of inertia of a body with the shape of the cross-section is the second moment of this area about the z {\displaystyle z} -axis perpendicular to the cross-section, weighted by its ...

  6. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    We can calculate the length of the line from its center to the middle of any edge as √ 2 using Pythagoras' theorem. By rotating the cube by 45° on the x -axis, the point (1, 1, 1) will therefore become (1, 0, √ 2 ) as depicted in the diagram.

  7. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_terms_of_location

    Radial (solid and colored lines) and circumferential roads (dashed and gray lines) in Metro Manila's road network. Axial – along the center of a round body, or the axis of rotation of a body; Radial – along a direction pointing along a radius from the center of an object, or perpendicular to a curved path.

  8. Dihedral symmetry in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_symmetry_in_three...

    D 1h and C 2v: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation about a line in that plane. D 1d and C 2h: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation about a line perpendicular to that plane. For n = 2 there is not one main axis and two additional axes, but there are three equivalent ones.

  9. Screw axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_axis

    A screw axis (helical axis or twist axis) is a line that is simultaneously the axis of rotation and the line along which translation of a body occurs. Chasles' theorem shows that each Euclidean displacement in three-dimensional space has a screw axis, and the displacement can be decomposed into a rotation about and a slide along this screw axis.
