  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 U.S. Patent No. 2,950,048, granted on August 23, 1960.

  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. Gassmann's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassmann's_equation

    Gassmann's equation. Gassmann's equations are a set of two equations describing the isotropic elastic constants of an ensemble consisting of an isotropic, homogeneous porous medium with a fully connected pore space, saturated by a compressible fluid at pressure equilibrium. First published in German [1] by Fritz Gassmann, the original work was ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Dynamic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_modulus

    Dynamic modulus. Dynamic modulus (sometimes complex modulus [1]) is the ratio of stress to strain under vibratory conditions (calculated from data obtained from either free or forced vibration tests, in shear, compression, or elongation). It is a property of viscoelastic materials.

  7. Modulus (algebraic number theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulus_(algebraic_number...

    A modulus is a formal product [3] [4] where p runs over all places of K, finite or infinite, the exponents ν ( p) are zero except for finitely many p. If K is a number field, ν ( p ) = 0 or 1 for real places and ν ( p ) = 0 for complex places. If K is a function field, ν ( p ) = 0 for all infinite places. In the function field case, a ...

  8. Three-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_flexural_test

    The three-point bending 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 performed on a universal testing machine (tensile testing machine or tensile tester) with a three-point or four-point bend fixture.

  9. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    If the remainder is equal to 0 then use 0 as the check digit, and if not 0 subtract the remainder from 10 to derive the check digit. A GS1 check digit calculator and detailed documentation is online at GS1's website. Another official calculator page shows that the mechanism for GTIN-13 is the same for Global Location Number/GLN.
