Block on a ramp and corresponding free body diagram of the block. In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the ...
This free body diagram demonstrates the relationship between angle of repose and material on the slope. A simple free body diagram can be used to understand the relationship between the angle of repose and the stability of the material on the slope.
This can be as simple as deciding what a likely maximum load case is at the contact patch, and then drawing a Free body diagram of each part to work out the forces, or as complex as simulating the behaviour of the suspension over a rough road, and calculating the loads caused. Often loads that have been measured on a similar suspension are used ...
Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.
Free body diagram of a body on which only gravity and air resistance act. The free body diagram on the right is for a projectile that experiences air resistance and the effects of gravity. Here, air resistance is assumed to be in the direction opposite of the projectile's velocity: F a i r = − f ( v ) ⋅ v ^ {\displaystyle \mathbf {F ...
These constants are determined by using either the forces at supports, or at free ends. For internal shear and moment, the constants can be found by analyzing the beam's free body diagram. For rotation and displacement, the constants are found using conditions dependent on the type of supports.
Body-fixed axes, or "body axes", are defined and fixed relative to the body of the vehicle.: [1] X body axis is aligned along the vehicle body and is usually positive toward the normal direction of motion. Y body axis is at a right angle to the x body axis and is oriented along the wings of the vehicle.
An automobile with highly stiff suspension can be considered to be a rigid body traveling on a plane (a flat, two-dimensional space). This body has three independent degrees of freedom consisting of two components of translation and one angle of rotation. Skidding or drifting is a good example of an automobile's three independent degrees of ...
