  2. Steady-state model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady-state_model

    In cosmology, the steady-state model or steady state theory is an alternative to the Big Bang theory. In the steady-state model, the density of matter in the expanding universe remains unchanged due to a continuous creation of matter, thus adhering to the perfect cosmological principle , a principle that says that the observable universe is ...

  3. Fred Hoyle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hoyle

    Instead, Hoyle, along with Thomas Gold and Hermann Bondi (with whom he had worked on radar in the Second World War), in 1948 began to argue for the universe as being in a "steady state" and formulated their Steady State theory. The theory tried to explain how the universe could be eternal and essentially unchanging while still having the ...

  4. Non-standard cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_cosmology

    Steady State theory was proposed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others. In order to maintain the perfect cosmological principle in an expanding universe, steady state cosmology had to posit a "matter-creation field" (the so-called C-field) that would insert matter into the universe in order to maintain a constant density.

  5. Transient response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response

    Damped oscillation is a typical transient response, where the output value oscillates until finally reaching a steady-state value. In electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, a transient response is the response of a system to a change from an equilibrium or a steady state. The transient response is not necessarily tied to abrupt ...

  6. Steady state (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state_(electronics)

    Steady state is reached (attained) after transient (initial, oscillating or turbulent) state has subsided. During steady state, a system is in relative stability. Steady state determination is an important topic, because many design specifications of electronic systems are given in terms of the steady-state characteristics. Periodic steady ...

  7. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    Overdamped (ζ > 1): The system returns (exponentially decays) to steady state without oscillating. Larger values of the damping ratio ζ return to equilibrium more slowly. Critically damped (ζ = 1): The system returns to steady state as quickly as possible without oscillating (although overshoot can occur if the initial velocity is nonzero ...

  8. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    The case for an oscillating far-field flow, with the plate held at rest, can easily be constructed from the previous solution for an oscillating plate by using linear superposition of solutions. Consider a uniform velocity oscillation u ( ∞ , t ) = U ∞ cos ⁡ ω t {\displaystyle u(\infty ,t)=U_{\infty }\cos \omega t} far away from the ...

  9. Steady state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state

    In systems theory, a system or a process is in a steady state if the variables (called state variables) which define the behavior of the system or the process are unchanging in time. In continuous time , this means that for those properties p of the system, the partial derivative with respect to time is zero and remains so:
