  2. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  3. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    A plane containing a cross-section of the solid may be referred to as a cutting plane. The shape of the cross-section of a solid may depend upon the orientation of the cutting plane to the solid. For instance, while all the cross-sections of a ball are disks, [2] the cross-sections of a cube depend on how the cutting plane is related to the ...

  4. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    A is the cross-sectional area of the flow, P is the wetted perimeter of the cross-section. More intuitively, the hydraulic diameter can be understood as a function of the hydraulic radius R H, which is defined as the cross-sectional area of the channel divided by the wetted perimeter. Here, the wetted perimeter includes all surfaces acted upon ...

  5. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    The elastic section modulus is used to calculate a cross-section's resistance to bending within the elastic range, where stress and strain are proportional. The plastic section modulus is used to calculate a cross-section's capacity to resist bending after yielding has occurred across the entire section. It is used for determining the plastic ...

  6. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    A cylindric section is the intersection of a cylinder's surface with a plane. They are, in general, curves and are special types of plane sections. The cylindric section by a plane that contains two elements of a cylinder is a parallelogram. [4] Such a cylindric section of a right cylinder is a rectangle. [4]

  7. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The parallel axis theorem can be used to determine the second moment of area of a rigid body about any axis, given the body's second moment of area about a parallel axis through the body's centroid, the area of the cross section, and the perpendicular distance (d) between the axes. ′ = +

  8. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    Non-circular cross-sections always have warping deformations that require numerical methods to allow for the exact calculation of the torsion constant. [2] The torsional stiffness of beams with non-circular cross sections is significantly increased if the warping of the end sections is restrained by, for example, stiff end blocks. [3]

  9. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_ring_problem

    This is an application of Cavalieri's principle: volumes with equal-sized corresponding cross-sections are equal. Indeed, the area of the cross-section is the same as that of the corresponding cross-section of a sphere of radius h / 2 {\displaystyle h/2} , which has volume 4 3 π ( h 2 ) 3 = π h 3 6 . {\displaystyle {\frac {4}{3}}\pi \left ...
