  2. Abbott-Firestone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott-Firestone_curve

    The curve can be found from a profile trace by drawing lines parallel to the datum and measuring the fraction of the line which lies within the profile. [ 1 ] Mathematically it is the cumulative probability density function of the surface profile's height and can be calculated by integrating the probability density function .

  3. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    The shape can be modified at the base to smooth out this discontinuity. Both a flat-faced cylinder and a cone are members of the power series. The power series nose shape is generated by rotating the y = R(x/L) n curve about the x-axis for values of n less than 1. The factor n controls the bluntness of the shape.

  4. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    The total cost curve, if non-linear, can represent increasing and diminishing marginal returns.. The short-run total cost (SRTC) and long-run total cost (LRTC) curves are increasing in the quantity of output produced because producing more output requires more labor usage in both the short and long runs, and because in the long run producing more output involves using more of the physical ...

  5. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The area of the base of a cylinder is the area of a circle (in this case we define that the circle has a radius with measure ): B = π r 2 {\displaystyle B=\pi r^{2}} . To calculate the total area of a right circular cylinder, you simply add the lateral area to the area of the two bases:

  6. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    The area of the top and bottom bases is the same, and is called the base area, B. The area of the side is known as the lateral area, L. An open cylinder does not include either top or bottom elements, and therefore has surface area (lateral area) = The surface area of the solid right circular cylinder is made up the sum of all three components ...

  7. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points. [1] [2] A central distinction in contact mechanics is between stresses acting perpendicular to the contacting bodies' surfaces (known as normal stress) and frictional stresses acting tangentially between the surfaces (shear stress).

  8. 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.

  9. 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 ...
