  2. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    The area of the side is known as the lateral area, L. An open cylinder does not include either top or bottom elements, and therefore has surface area (lateral area) = The surface area of the solid right circular cylinder is made up the sum of all three components: top, bottom and side.

  3. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  4. Specific surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_surface_area

    Specific surface area ( SSA) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, [ 1] (with units of m 2 /kg or m 2 /g). Alternatively, it may be defined as SA per solid or bulk volume [ 2][ 3] (units of m 2 /m 3 or m −1 ). It is a physical value that can be used to determine the type and properties of ...

  5. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  6. Archimedes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes

    A sphere has 2/3 the volume and surface area of its circumscribing cylinder including its bases. In this two-volume treatise addressed to Dositheus, Archimedes obtains the result of which he was most proud, namely the relationship between a sphere and a circumscribed cylinder of the same height and diameter.

  7. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Bowden and Tabor were the first to emphasize the importance of surface roughness for bodies in contact. [10] [11] Through investigation of the surface roughness, the true contact area between friction partners is found to be less than the apparent contact area. Such understanding also drastically changed the direction of undertakings in tribology.

  8. Gabriel's horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel's_horn

    Graph of = /. Gabriel's horn is formed by taking the graph of =, with the domain and rotating it in three dimensions about the x axis. The discovery was made using Cavalieri's principle before the invention of calculus, but today, calculus can be used to calculate the volume and surface area of the horn between x = 1 and x = a, where a > 1. [6]

  9. Fuller calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller_calculator

    Fuller calculator, Fuller-Bakewell model of 1928. The Fuller calculator, sometimes called Fuller's cylindrical slide rule, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. This creates an instrument of considerable precision – it is equivalent to a traditional slide rule 25.40 metres (1,000 inches) long.
