  2. Second polar moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_polar_moment_of_area

    Where the planar second moment of area describes an object's resistance to deflection when subjected to a force applied to a plane parallel to the central axis, the polar second moment of area describes an object's resistance to deflection when subjected to a moment applied in a plane perpendicular to the object's central axis (i.e. parallel to ...

  3. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    The only line that fills the requirement is a line colinear with link P 1-A. Somewhere on this line there is a point P, the instant center of rotation for the body BAC. What applies to point A also applies to point B, therefore this instant center of rotation P is located on a line perpendicular to vector V B, a line colinear with link P 2-B.

  4. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    If a plane intersects a solid (a 3-dimensional object), then the region common to the plane and the solid is called a cross-section of the solid. [1] A plane containing a cross-section of the solid may be referred to as a cutting plane. The shape of the cross-section of a solid may depend upon the orientation of the cutting plane to the solid.

  5. Dihedral symmetry in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_symmetry_in_three...

    D 1h and C 2v: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation about a line in that plane. D 1d and C 2h: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation about a line perpendicular to that plane. For n = 2 there is not one main axis and two additional axes, but there are three equivalent ones.

  6. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    Lift is defined as the component of the aerodynamic force that is perpendicular to the flow direction, and drag is the component that is parallel to the flow direction.. A fluid flowing around the surface of a solid object applies a force on it.

  7. Plane-based geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane-based_geometric_algebra

    The plane part of this rotoreflection is the plane that is orthogonal to the line L and the original point P. A similar procedure can be used to find the line orthogonal to a plane and passing through a point, or the intersection of a line and a plane, or the intersection line of a plane with another plane.

  8. Point groups in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_three...

    D 1h and C 2v: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation through a line in that plane; D 1d and C 2h: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation through a line perpendicular to that plane. S 2 is the group of order 2 with a single inversion (C i). "Equal" is meant here as the same up to conjugacy ...

  9. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    Comparison of several types of graphical projection, including elevation and plan views. To render each such picture, a ray of sight (also called a projection line, projection ray or line of sight) towards the object is chosen, which determines on the object various points of interest (for instance, the points that are visible when looking at the object along the ray of sight); those points of ...
