  2. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    [4] [5] [6] A kinematics problem begins by describing the geometry of the system and declaring the initial conditions of any known values of position, velocity and/or acceleration of points within the system. Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined.

  3. Wittgenstein's rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittgenstein's_rod

    The answer depends on three parameters: the radius of the circle, the distance from the center to S, and the length of the segment AB. The shape described by B can be seen as a ' figure-eight ' which in some cases degenerates to a single lobe looking like an inverted cardioid .

  4. Paden–Kahan subproblems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paden–Kahan_subproblems

    Paden–Kahan subproblems are a set of solved geometric problems which occur frequently in inverse kinematics of common robotic manipulators. [1] Although the set of problems is not exhaustive, it may be used to simplify inverse kinematic analysis for many industrial robots. [2] Beyond the three classical subproblems several others have been ...

  5. List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [1]Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result.

  6. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_existence...

    In mathematics, the Navier–Stokes equations are a system of nonlinear partial differential equations for abstract vector fields of any size. In physics and engineering, they are a system of equations that model the motion of liquids or non-rarefied gases (in which the mean free path is short enough so that it can be thought of as a continuum mean instead of a collection of particles) using ...

  7. Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    The Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion determines the number of degrees of freedom of a kinematic chain, that is, a coupling of rigid bodies by means of mechanical constraints. [1] These devices are also called linkages .

  8. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    A space curve; the vectors T, N, B; and the osculating plane spanned by T and N. In differential geometry, the Frenet–Serret formulas describe the kinematic properties of a particle moving along a differentiable curve in three-dimensional Euclidean space, or the geometric properties of the curve itself irrespective of any motion.

  9. Inverse dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_dynamics

    Kinematics; Inverse kinematics: a problem similar to Inverse dynamics but with different goals and starting assumptions.While inverse dynamics asks for torques that produce a certain time-trajectory of positions and velocities, inverse kinematics only asks for a static set of joint angles such that a certain point (or a set of points) of the character (or robot) is positioned at a certain ...
