    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Roundness is the measure of how closely the shape of an object approaches that of a mathematically perfect circle. Roundness applies in two dimensions , such as the cross sectional circles along a cylindrical object such as a shaft or a cylindrical roller for a bearing .

  3. Body roundness index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_roundness_index

    Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculated geometric index used to quantify an aspect of a person's individual body shape. Based on the principle of body eccentricity, it provides a rapid visual and anthropometric tool for health evaluation. [1] Introduced in 2013, the BRI calculation can be used to estimate total and visceral body fat.

  8. Roundness (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness_(Geology)

    Roundness is an important indicator of the genetic affiliation of a clastic rock. The degree of roundness points to the range and mode of transport of clastic material, and can also serve as a search criterion in mineral exploration, especially for placer deposits. Alluvial debris in major rivers tend to exhibit a high degree of roundness ...
