  2. Pulsatile flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsatile_flow

    The flow profiles was first derived by John R. Womersley (1907–1958) in his work with blood flow in arteries. [1] The cardiovascular system of chordate animals is a very good example where pulsatile flow is found, but pulsatile flow is also observed in engines and hydraulic systems, as a result of rotating mechanisms pumping the fluid.

  3. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    Phase spaces are easier to use when analyzing the behavior of mechanical systems restricted to motion around and along various axes of rotation or translation – e.g. in robotics, like analyzing the range of motion of a robotic arm or determining the optimal path to achieve a particular position/momentum result.

  4. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    The motion of a body in which it moves to and from about a definite point is also called oscillatory motion or vibratory motion. The time period is able to be calculated by T = 2 π l g {\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {l}{g}}}} where l is the distance from rotation to center of mass of object undergoing SHM and g being gravitational ...

  5. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples of oscillation include a swinging pendulum and alternating current .

  6. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    Periodic motion is motion in which the position(s) of the system are expressible as periodic functions, all with the same period. For a function on the real numbers or on the integers , that means that the entire graph can be formed from copies of one particular portion, repeated at regular intervals.

  7. Rotational–vibrational coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational–vibrational...

    However, the force exerted by the extended spring pulls the particles onto a periodic, oscillatory path. In physics , rotational–vibrational coupling [ 1 ] occurs when the rotation frequency of a system is close to or identical to a natural frequency of internal vibration .

  8. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    Examples of degenerate cases—with the non-linear terms in the Navier–Stokes equations equal to zero—are Poiseuille flow, Couette flow and the oscillatory Stokes boundary layer. But also, more interesting examples, solutions to the full non-linear equations, exist, such as Jeffery–Hamel flow , Von Kármán swirling flow , stagnation ...

  9. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    A sine wave, sinusoidal wave, or sinusoid (symbol: ∿) is a periodic wave whose waveform (shape) is the trigonometric sine function. In mechanics, as a linear motion over time, this is simple harmonic motion; as rotation, it corresponds to uniform circular motion.
