  2. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    In keeping with this philosophy, to define the delta function properly, it is enough to say what the "integral" of the delta function is against a sufficiently "good" test function φ. Test functions are also known as bump functions. If the delta function is already understood as a measure, then the Lebesgue integral of a test function against ...

  3. Final value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_value_theorem

    For a system described by the transfer function = +, the final value theorem appears to predict the final value of the impulse response to be 0 and the final value of the step response to be 1. However, neither time-domain limit exists, and so the final value theorem predictions are not valid.

  4. Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics

    The most crucial thing is the choice of interpolating and testing functions. In a standard, low order FEM in 2D, for quadrilateral elements the most typical choice is the bilinear test or interpolating function of the form (,) = + + +. In a spectral element method however, the interpolating and test functions are chosen to be polynomials of a ...

  5. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

    The TDR analysis begins with the propagation of a step or impulse of energy into a system and the subsequent observation of the energy reflected by the system. By analyzing the magnitude, duration and shape of the reflected waveform, the nature of the impedance variation in the transmission system can be determined.

  6. Voltage-gated calcium channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-gated_calcium_channel

    Voltage-gated calcium channels are formed as a complex of several different subunits: α 1, α 2 δ, β 1-4, and γ. The α 1 subunit forms the ion-conducting pore while the associated subunits have several functions including modulation of gating. [6]

  7. Impulse invariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_invariance

    If the system function has zeros as well as poles, they can be mapped the same way, but the result is no longer an impulse invariance result: the discrete-time impulse response is not equal simply to samples of the continuous-time impulse response. This method is known as the matched Z-transform method, or pole–zero mapping.

  8. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    Statics methods (like the four-point bending test and nanoindentation) are based on direct measurements of stresses and strains during mechanical tests. Dynamic methods (like ultrasound spectroscopy and impulse excitation technique) provide an advantage over static methods because the measurements are relatively quick and simple and involve ...

  9. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    Stretch step: steps of variable durations may be stretched to the same duration. Step phase: the phase of each step can be computed which quantifies how far through the step each data point is. This normalizes the data by step length, allowing data from steps of variable lengths to be compared.
