  2. Theorem of three moments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_three_moments

    Figure03-Mohr's Second Theorem. The three moment equation expresses the relation between bending moments at three successive supports of a continuous beam, subject to a loading on a two adjacent span with or without settlement of the supports.

  3. Moment (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(mathematics)

    Moment (mathematics) In mathematics, a quantitative measure of the shape of a set of points. In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph. If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is ...

  4. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    The tennis racket theorem or intermediate axis theorem, is a kinetic phenomenon of classical mechanics which describes the movement of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. It has also dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect , after Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov , who noticed one of the theorem's logical consequences ...

  5. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The moment of inertia, otherwise known as the mass moment of inertia, angular/rotational mass, second moment of mass, or most accurately, rotational inertia, of a rigid body is defined relative to a rotational axis. It is the ratio between the torque applied and the resulting angular acceleration about that axis.

  6. Parallel axis theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_axis_theorem

    The parallel axis theorem states that if the body is made to rotate instead about a new axis z′, which is parallel to the first axis and displaced from it by a distance d, then the moment of inertia I with respect to the new axis is related to Icm by. Explicitly, d is the perpendicular distance between the axes z and z′.

  7. Second moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_moment_of_area

    Second moment of area. The second moment of area, or second area moment, or quadratic moment of area and also known as the area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with regard to an arbitrary axis. The second moment of area is typically denoted with either an (for an axis that ...

  8. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    Screw theory is the algebraic calculation of pairs of vectors, also known as dual vectors[1] – such as angular and linear velocity, or forces and moments – that arise in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. [2][3] Screw theory provides a mathematical formulation for the geometry of lines which is central to rigid body dynamics ...

  9. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    Pythagorean theorem. The sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs (a and b) equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse (c). In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.
