  2. Dubins path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubins_path

    In geometry, the term Dubins path typically refers to the shortest curve that connects two points in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane (i.e. x-y plane) with a constraint on the curvature of the path and with prescribed initial and terminal tangents to the path, and an assumption that the vehicle traveling the path can only travel forward.

  3. Finite volume method for two dimensional diffusion problem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method_for...

    The methods used for solving two dimensional Diffusion problems are similar to those used for one dimensional problems. The general equation for steady diffusion can be easily derived from the general transport equation for property Φ by deleting transient and convective terms [1]

  4. Paden–Kahan subproblems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paden–Kahan_subproblems

    Paden–Kahan subproblems are a set of solved geometric problems which occur frequently in inverse kinematics of common robotic manipulators. [1] Although the set of problems is not exhaustive, it may be used to simplify inverse kinematic analysis for many industrial robots. [2] Beyond the three classical subproblems several others have been ...

  5. Compatibility (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The problem of compatibility in continuum mechanics involves the determination of allowable single-valued continuous fields on simply connected bodies. More precisely, the problem may be stated in the following manner. [5] Figure 1. Motion of a continuum body. Consider the deformation of a body shown in Figure 1.

  6. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    The second called inverse kinematics uses the position and orientation of the end-effector to compute the joint parameters values. Remarkably, while the forward kinematics of a serial chain is a direct calculation of a single matrix equation, the forward kinematics of a parallel chain requires the simultaneous solution of multiple matrix ...

  7. Wittgenstein's rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittgenstein's_rod

    Now we write this down as a proposition of kinematics. When I work the mechanism its movement proves the proposition to me; as would a construction on paper. The proposition corresponds e.g. to a picture of the mechanism with the paths of the points A and B drawn in. Thus it is in a certain respect a picture of that movement.

  8. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    If both masses are the same, we have a trivial solution: = =. This simply corresponds to the bodies exchanging their initial velocities with each other. [ 2 ] As can be expected, the solution is invariant under adding a constant to all velocities ( Galilean relativity ), which is like using a frame of reference with constant translational velocity.

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

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

    Torque-free precessions are non-trivial solution for the situation where the torque on the right hand side is zero. When I is not constant in the external reference frame (i.e. the body is moving and its inertia tensor is not constantly diagonal) then I cannot be pulled through the derivative operator acting on L.
