  2. Error correction model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_model

    The first term in the RHS describes short-run impact of change in on , the second term explains long-run gravitation towards the equilibrium relationship between the variables, and the third term reflects random shocks that the system receives (e.g. shocks of consumer confidence that affect consumption). To see how the model works, consider two ...

  3. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    The first step when using the direct stiffness method is to identify the individual elements which make up the structure. Once the elements are identified, the structure is disconnected at the nodes, the points which connect the different elements together.

  4. Finite element method in structural mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method_in...

    = vector of the system's nodal displacements. = vector of equivalent nodal forces, representing all external effects other than the nodal forces which are already included in the preceding nodal force vector R. These external effects may include distributed or concentrated surface forces, body forces, thermal effects, initial stresses and strains.

  5. Phase plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_plane

    In applied mathematics, in particular the context of nonlinear system analysis, a phase plane is a visual display of certain characteristics of certain kinds of differential equations; a coordinate plane with axes being the values of the two state variables, say (x, y), or (q, p) etc. (any pair of variables).

  6. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    A force arrow should lie along the line of force, but where along the line is irrelevant. A force on an extended rigid body is a sliding vector. non-rigid extended. The point of application of a force becomes crucial and has to be indicated on the diagram. A force on a non-rigid body is a bound vector. Some use the tail of the arrow to indicate ...

  7. Equilibrant force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrant_Force

    Because the angle of the equilibrant force is opposite of the resultant force, if 180 degrees are added or subtracted to the resultant force's angle, the equilibrant force's angle will be known. Multiplying the resultant force vector by a -1 will give the correct equilibrant force vector: <-10, -8>N x (-1) = <10, 8>N = C.

  8. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    A comparison of the convergence of gradient descent with optimal step size (in green) and conjugate vector (in red) for minimizing a quadratic function associated with a given linear system. Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2).

  9. Flexibility method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexibility_method

    The vector X is the so-called vector of redundant forces and I is the degree of statical indeterminacy of the system. We usually choose j , k , …, α {\displaystyle \alpha } , and β {\displaystyle \beta } such that X i {\displaystyle X_{i}} is a support reaction or an internal member-end force.
