  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    The case of θ = 0, φ ≠ 0 is called a simple rotation, with two unit eigenvalues forming an axis plane, and a two-dimensional rotation orthogonal to the axis plane. Otherwise, there is no axis plane. The case of θ = φ is called an isoclinic rotation, having eigenvalues e ±iθ repeated twice, so every vector is rotated through an angle θ.

  3. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    A simple displacement diagram illustrates the follower motion at a constant velocity rise followed by a similar return with a dwell in between as depicted in figure 2. [4] The rise is the motion of the follower away from the cam center, dwell is the motion where the follower is at rest, and return is the motion of the follower toward the cam ...

  4. Linear transformation in rotating electrical machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_transformation_in...

    Transformation of three phase electrical quantities to two phase quantities is a usual practice to simplify analysis of three phase electrical circuits. Polyphase a.c machines can be represented by an equivalent two phase model provided the rotating polyphases winding in rotor and the stationary polyphase windings in stator can be expressed in a fictitious two axes coils.

  5. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    In mathematics, a rotation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x′y′-Cartesian coordinate system in which the origin is kept fixed and the x′ and y′ axes are obtained by rotating the x and y axes counterclockwise through an angle .

  6. Rotations and reflections in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_and_reflections...

    These equations can be proved through straightforward matrix multiplication and application of trigonometric identities, specifically the sum and difference identities.. The set of all reflections in lines through the origin and rotations about the origin, together with the operation of composition of reflections and rotations, forms a group.

  7. Conformal linear transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Conformal_linear_transformation

    Conformal linear transformations come in two types, proper transformations preserve the orientation of the space whereas improper transformations reverse it. As linear transformations, conformal linear transformations are representable by matrices once the vector space has been given a basis , composing with each-other and transforming vectors ...

  8. Active and passive transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_and_passive...

    Geometric transformations can be distinguished into two types: active or alibi transformations which change the physical position of a set of points relative to a fixed frame of reference or coordinate system (alibi meaning "being somewhere else at the same time"); and passive or alias transformations which leave points fixed but change the ...

  9. Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_in_4-dimensional...

    The conjugate of that eigenvalue is also unity, yielding a pair of eigenvectors which define a fixed plane, and so the rotation is simple. In quaternion notation, a proper (i.e., non-inverting) rotation in SO(4) is a proper simple rotation if and only if the real parts of the unit quaternions Q L and Q R are equal in magnitude and have the same ...
