  2. Luhn algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

    Luhn algorithm. The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the " modulus 10" or "mod 10" algorithm, named after its creator, IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn, is a simple check digit formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers. It is described in US patent 2950048A, granted on 23 August 1960. [ 1]

  3. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones ...

  4. Method of successive substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_successive...

    Adding our current modulus to the value that c represents, our new c = 10. ∴ c = 11d + 10, ∀d ∈ Z. 8. Our final step is to substitute c into the equation with respect to x that we found in step 6: x = 30c + 23 = 30(11d + 10) + 23 = 330d + 323. ∴ 330d + 323 represents all solutions that satisfies the system of congruences with which we ...

  5. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    In general, for some material property (often the elastic modulus [ 1] ), the rule of mixtures states that the overall property in the direction parallel to the fibers may be as high as. where. is the volume fraction of the fibers. is the material property of the fibers. is the material property of the matrix.

  6. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus (or Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise. It is the modulus of elasticity for tension or axial compression. Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) applied to the object and the ...

  7. Shear modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_modulus

    The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of materials. All of them arise in the generalized Hooke's law: . Young's modulus E describes the material's strain response to uniaxial stress in the direction of this stress (like pulling on the ends of a wire or putting a weight on top of a column, with the wire getting longer and the column losing height),

  8. Modulo (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_(mathematics)

    Modulo is a mathematical jargon that was introduced into mathematics in the book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1801. [3] Given the integers a, b and n, the expression "a ≡ b (mod n)", pronounced "a is congruent to b modulo n", means that a − b is an integer multiple of n, or equivalently, a and b both share the same remainder when divided by n.

  9. Four-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-point_flexural_test

    The four-point flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending , flexural stress , flexural strain and the flexural stress-strain response of the material. This test is very similar to the three-point bending flexural test. The major difference being that with the addition of a fourth bearing the portion of the beam ...
