  2. Abbott-Firestone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott-Firestone_curve

    The Abbott-Firestone curve was first described by Ernest James Abbott and Floyd Firestone in 1933. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is useful for understanding the properties of sealing and bearing surfaces. It is commonly used in the engineering and manufacturing of piston cylinder bores of internal combustion engines . [ 5 ]

  3. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    The lateral area, L, of a circular cylinder, which need not be a right cylinder, is more generally given by =, where e is the length of an element and p is the perimeter of a right section of the cylinder. [9] This produces the previous formula for lateral area when the cylinder is a right circular cylinder.

  4. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    Illustration of a cylinder and the planification of its lateral surface. The lateral surface of a right cylinder is the meeting of the generatrices. [3] It can be obtained by the product between the length of the circumference of the base and the height of the cylinder. Therefore, the lateral surface area is given by: =. [2]

  5. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.

  6. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  7. Constant-mean-curvature surface - Wikipedia

    These are the plane, cylinder, sphere, the catenoid, the unduloid and nodoid. [ 3 ] In 1853 J. H. Jellet showed that if S {\displaystyle S} is a compact star-shaped surface in R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} with constant mean curvature, then it is the standard sphere. [ 4 ]

  8. Projected area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected_area

    Projected area is the two dimensional area measurement of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane. This is often used in mechanical engineering and architectural engineering related fields, especially for hardness testing, axial stress , wind pressures, and terminal velocity .

  9. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sphere_and_Cylinder

    When the inscribing cylinder is tight and has a height =, so that the sphere touches the cylinder at the top and bottom, he showed that both the volume and the surface area of the sphere were two-thirds that of the cylinder. This implies the area of the sphere is equal to the area of the cylinder minus its caps.
