  2. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    A cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system that specifies point positions by the distance from a chosen reference axis (axis L in the image opposite), the direction from the axis relative to a chosen reference direction (axis A), and the distance from a chosen reference plane perpendicular to the axis (plane ...

  3. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    When motion involving large displacements is the main objective of study (e.g. for analyzing the motion of satellites), a deformable body may be approximated as a rigid body (or even a particle) in order to simplify the analysis. The degree of freedom of a system can be viewed as the minimum number of coordinates required to specify a ...

    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 ...

  5. Multibody simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibody_simulation

    The solver is a set of computation algorithms that solve equations of motion. Types of components that can be studied through multibody simulation range from electronic control systems to noise, vibration and harshness. [7] Complex models such as engines are composed of individually designed components, e.g. pistons and crankshafts. [8]

  6. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. They are named in honour of Leonhard Euler. Their general vector form is

  7. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    Serial and parallel manipulator systems are generally designed to position an end-effector with six degrees of freedom, consisting of three in translation and three in orientation. This provides a direct relationship between actuator positions and the configuration of the manipulator defined by its forward and inverse kinematics .

  8. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_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. Or there may be one or two points of intersection. [1] Or a line may lie along the surface of a cylinder, parallel to its axis ...

  9. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    This formula holds whether or not the cylinder is a right cylinder. [7] This formula may be established by using Cavalieri's principle. A solid elliptic right cylinder with the semi-axes a and b for the base ellipse and height h. In more generality, by the same principle, the volume of any cylinder is the product of the area of a base and the ...
