  2. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    The quotients formed by the area of these polygons divided by the square of the circle radius can be made arbitrarily close to π as the number of polygon sides becomes large, proving that the area inside the circle of radius r is πr 2, π being defined as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter (C/d).

  3. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  4. Compactness measure - Wikipedia

    Alternatively, the shape's area could be compared to that of its bounding circle, [1] [2] its convex hull, [1] [3] or its minimum bounding box. [3] Similarly, a comparison can be made between the perimeter of the shape and that of its convex hull, [3] its bounding circle, [1] or a circle having the same area. [1]

  5. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    where is the volume fraction of the fibers in the composite (and is the volume fraction of the matrix).. If it is assumed that the composite material behaves as a linear-elastic material, i.e., abiding Hooke's law = for some elastic modulus of the composite and some strain of the composite , then equations 1 and 2 can be combined to give

  6. Fiber volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_volume_ratio

    The geometric analysis of the composite can be seen in the cross-section of the composite. Voids are often formed in a composite structure throughout the manufacturing process and must be calculated into the total fiber volume fraction of the composite.

  7. Pick's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick's_theorem

    Both the area and the counts of points used in Pick's formula add together in the same way as each other, so the truth of Pick's formula for general polygons follows from its truth for triangles. Any triangle subdivides its bounding box into the triangle itself and additional right triangles , and the areas of both the bounding box and the ...

  8. Irregularity of a surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregularity_of_a_surface

    In mathematics, the irregularity of a complex surface X is the Hodge number, = ⁡ (), usually denoted by q. [1] The irregularity of an algebraic surface is sometimes defined to be this Hodge number, and sometimes defined to be the dimension of the Picard variety, which is the same in characteristic 0 but can be smaller in positive characteristic.

  9. Equivalent spherical diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_spherical_diameter

    However, real-life particles are likely to have irregular shapes and surface irregularities, and their size cannot be fully characterized by a single parameter. The concept of equivalent spherical diameter has been introduced in the field of particle size analysis to enable the representation of the particle size distribution in a simplified ...
