  2. Cryptosula pallasiana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptosula_pallasiana

    Each zooid lies in a rigid rectangular box called a zooecium up to 1 mm (0.04 in) long and 0.5 mm (0.02 in) wide. These are fitted together in a regular pattern, radiating out from the position in which the founding zooid settled to start the colony, each daughter zooid's head being further away from the centre of the colony than its foot.

  3. Finite potential well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_potential_well

    We note that however small is (however shallow or narrow the well), there is always at least one bound state. Two special cases are worth noting. As the height of the potential becomes large, V 0 → ∞ {\displaystyle V_{0}\to \infty } , the radius of the semicircle gets larger and the roots get closer and closer to the values v n = n π / 2 ...

  4. Shallow foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_foundation

    A shallow foundation is a type of building foundation that transfers structural load to the Earth very near to the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of depths, as does a deep foundation. Customarily, a shallow foundation is considered as such when the width of the entire foundation is greater than its depth. [1]

  5. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

  6. Torsion (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_(mechanics)

    Torsion of a square section bar Example of torsion mechanics. In the field of solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque [1] [2].Torsion could be defined as strain [3] [4] or angular deformation [5], and is measured by the angle a chosen section is rotated from its equilibrium position [6].

  7. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    Let a rigid assembly of particles, , =, …,, have coordinates . Choose R {\displaystyle \mathbf {R} } as a reference point and compute the moment of inertia around a line L defined by the unit vector k ^ {\displaystyle \mathbf {\hat {k}} } through the reference point R {\displaystyle \mathbf {R} } , L ( t ) = R + t k ^ {\displaystyle \mathbf ...

  8. Structural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_rigidity

    Rigidity is the property of a structure that it does not bend or flex under an applied force. The opposite of rigidity is flexibility.In structural rigidity theory, structures are formed by collections of objects that are themselves rigid bodies, often assumed to take simple geometric forms such as straight rods (line segments), with pairs of objects connected by flexible hinges.

  9. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    Shallow-water equations, in its non-linear form, is an obvious candidate for modelling turbulence in the atmosphere and oceans, i.e. geophysical turbulence. An advantage of this, over Quasi-geostrophic equations , is that it allows solutions like gravity waves , while also conserving energy and potential vorticity .
