  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone truncated perpendicularly to its axis; [3] otherwise, it is an oblique frustum. In a truncated cone or truncated pyramid, the truncation plane is not necessarily parallel to the cone's base, as in a frustum. If all its edges are forced to become of the same length, then a frustum becomes a ...

  3. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The formula for the volume of a frustum of a paraboloid [23] [24] is: V = (π h/2)(r 1 2 + r 2 2), where h = height of the frustum, r 1 is the radius of the base of the frustum, and r 2 is the radius of the top of the frustum. This allows us to use a paraboloid frustum where that form appears more appropriate than a cone.

  4. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_measurement

    Cumulative trunk volume is calculated by adding the volume of the measured segments of the tree together. The volume of each segment is calculated as the volume of a frustum of a cone where: Volume= h(π/3)(r 1 2 + r 2 2 +r 1 r 2) Frustum of a cone

  5. Spherical sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_sector

    If the radius of the sphere is denoted by r and the height of the cap by h, the volume of the spherical sector is =. This may also be written as V = 2 π r 3 3 ( 1 − cos ⁡ φ ) , {\displaystyle V={\frac {2\pi r^{3}}{3}}(1-\cos \varphi )\,,} where φ is half the cone angle, i.e., φ is the angle between the rim of the cap and the direction ...

  6. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    A bi-conic nose cone shape is simply a cone with length L 1 stacked on top of a frustum of a cone (commonly known as a conical transition section shape) with length L 2, where the base of the upper cone is equal in radius R 1 to the top radius of the smaller frustum with base radius R 2. = +

  7. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane.It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  8. Spherical segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_segment

    Thus, the segment volume equals the sum of three volumes: two right circular cylinders one of radius a and the second of radius b (both of height /) and a sphere of radius /. The curved surface area of the spherical zone—which excludes the top and bottom bases—is given by =.

  9. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    For contact between two spheres of radii and , the area of contact is a circle of radius . The equations are the same as for a sphere in contact with a half plane except that the effective radius is defined as [4]
