  2. Compatibility (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_(mechanics)

    For two-dimensional, plane strain problems the strain-displacement relations are = ; = [+] ; = Repeated differentiation of these relations, in order to remove the displacements and , gives us the two-dimensional compatibility condition for strains

  3. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The equations of translational kinematics can easily be extended to planar rotational kinematics for constant angular acceleration with simple variable exchanges: = + = + = (+) = + (). Here θ i and θ f are, respectively, the initial and final angular positions, ω i and ω f are, respectively, the initial and final angular velocities, and α ...

  4. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    From this point of view the kinematics equations can be used in two different ways. The first called forward kinematics uses specified values for the joint parameters to compute the end-effector position and orientation. The second called inverse kinematics uses the position and orientation of the end-effector to compute the joint parameters ...

  5. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. They are named in honour of Leonhard Euler.

  6. Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    The Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion determines the number of degrees of freedom of a kinematic chain, that is, a coupling of rigid bodies by means of mechanical constraints. [1] These devices are also called linkages .

  7. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  8. Kinematic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_wave

    Kinematic wave can be described by a simple partial differential equation with a single unknown field variable (e.g., the flow or wave height, ) in terms of the two independent variables, namely the time and the space with some parameters (coefficients) containing information about the physics and geometry of the flow. In general, the wave can ...

  9. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The theory was developed in 1888 by Love [2] using assumptions proposed by Kirchhoff. It is assumed that a mid-surface plane can be used to represent the three-dimensional plate in two-dimensional form. The following kinematic assumptions are made in this theory: [3] straight lines normal to the mid-surface remain straight after deformation
