  2. Archard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archard_equation

    The Archard wear equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. The Archard equation was developed much later than Reye's hypothesis [] (sometimes also known as energy dissipative hypothesis), though both came to the same physical conclusions, that the volume of the removed debris due to wear is proportional to the work done by friction ...

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    To find the force of buoyancy acting on the object when in air, using this particular information, this formula applies: Buoyancy force = weight of object in empty space − weight of object immersed in fluid. The final result would be measured in Newtons. Air's density is very small compared to most solids and liquids.

  4. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    The increase in weight is equal to the amount of liquid displaced by the object, which is the same as the volume of the suspended object times the density of the liquid. [1] The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. [2]

  5. Finite element method in structural mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method_in...

    Hence, the displacement of the structure is described by the response of individual (discrete) elements collectively. The equations are written only for the small domain of individual elements of the structure rather than a single equation that describes the response of the system as a whole (a continuum).

  6. Castigliano's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castigliano's_method

    Castigliano's method for calculating displacements is an application of his second theorem, which states: If the strain energy of a linearly elastic structure can be expressed as a function of generalised force Q i then the partial derivative of the strain energy with respect to generalised force gives the generalised displacement q i in the direction of Q i.

  7. List of equations in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    Flux F through a surface, dS is the differential vector area element, n is the unit normal to the surface. Left: No flux passes in the surface, the maximum amount flows normal to the surface.

  8. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    After inserting the known value for each degree of freedom, the master stiffness equation is complete and ready to be evaluated. There are several different methods available for evaluating a matrix equation including but not limited to Cholesky decomposition and the brute force evaluation of systems of equations. If a structure isn’t ...

  9. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    However, the solution for the displacement is not unique and depends on the frequency. These solutions are typically written as w ^ n = A 1 cosh ⁡ ( β n x ) + A 2 sinh ⁡ ( β n x ) + A 3 cos ⁡ ( β n x ) + A 4 sin ⁡ ( β n x ) with β n := ( μ ω n 2 E I ) 1 / 4 .
