  2. Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaucellier–Lipkin_linkage

    Animation for Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage: Dimensions: Cyan Links = a Green Links = b Yellow Links = c. The Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage (or Peaucellier–Lipkin cell, or Peaucellier–Lipkin inversor), invented in 1864, was the first true planar straight line mechanism – the first planar linkage capable of transforming rotary motion into perfect straight-line motion, and vice versa.

  3. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    Two intersecting lines. In Euclidean geometry, the intersection of a line and a line can be the empty set, a point, or another line. Distinguishing these cases and finding the intersection have uses, for example, in computer graphics, motion planning, and collision detection.

  4. Poincaré map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_map

    A two-dimensional Poincaré section of the forced Duffing equation. In mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems, a first recurrence map or Poincaré map, named after Henri Poincaré, is the intersection of a periodic orbit in the state space of a continuous dynamical system with a certain lower-dimensional subspace, called the Poincaré section, transversal to the flow of the system.

  5. Linear flow on the torus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_flow_on_the_torus

    Irrational windings are also examples of the fact that the topology of the submanifold does not have to coincide with the subspace topology of the submanifold. [ 2 ] Secondly, the torus can be considered as a Lie group U ( 1 ) × U ( 1 ) {\displaystyle U(1)\times U(1)} , and the line can be considered as R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } .

  6. Poinsot's ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsot's_ellipsoid

    In general, the object will follow a non-periodic path on this torus, but it may follow a periodic path. The time taken for L {\displaystyle \mathbf {L} } to complete one cycle around its track in the body frame is constant, but after a cycle the body will have rotated by an amount that may not be a rational number of degrees, in which case the ...

  7. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    An animation of the figure-8 solution to the three-body problem over a single period T ≃ 6.3259 [13] 20 examples of periodic solutions to the three-body problem In the 1970s, Michel Hénon and Roger A. Broucke each found a set of solutions that form part of the same family of solutions: the Broucke–Hénon–Hadjidemetriou family.

  8. Quasiperiodic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiperiodic_motion

    Rectilinear motion along a line in a Euclidean space gives rise to a quasiperiodic motion if the space is turned into a torus (a compact space) by making every point equivalent to any other point situated in the same way with respect to the integer lattice (the points with integer coordinates), so long as the direction cosines of the rectilinear motion form irrational ratios.

  9. Numerical continuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_continuation

    A periodic motion is a closed curve in phase space. That is, for some period, ′ = (,), = (). The textbook example of a periodic motion is the undamped pendulum.. If the phase space is periodic in one or more coordinates, say () = (+), with a vector [clarification needed], then there is a second kind of periodic motions defined by
