  2. Block graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_graph

    In graph theory, a branch of combinatorial mathematics, a block graph or clique tree [1] is a type of undirected graph in which every biconnected component (block) is a clique. Block graphs are sometimes erroneously called Husimi trees (after Kôdi Husimi ), [ 2 ] but that name more properly refers to cactus graphs , graphs in which every ...

  3. Two-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem

    In the center of mass frame the kinetic energy is the lowest and the total energy becomes = ˙ + The coordinates x 1 and x 2 can be expressed as = = and in a similar way the energy E is related to the energies E 1 and E 2 that separately contain the kinetic energy of each body: = = ˙ + = = ˙ + = +

  4. Thickness-to-chord ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickness-to-chord_ratio

    The natural outcome of this requirement is a wing design that is thin and wide, which has a low thickness-to-chord ratio. At lower speeds, undesirable parasitic drag is largely a function of the total surface area, which suggests using a wing with minimum chord, leading to the high aspect ratios seen on light aircraft and regional airliners ...

  5. Block design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_design

    A partially balanced incomplete block design with n associate classes (PBIBD(n)) is a block design based on a v-set X with b blocks each of size k and with each element appearing in r blocks, such that there is an association scheme with n classes defined on X where, if elements x and y are ith associates, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, then they are together ...

  6. Sears–Haack body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears–Haack_body

    [1] [2] [3] The Kármán–Moore theory indicates that the wave drag scales as the square of the second derivative of the area distribution, [″ ()] (see full expression below), so for low wave drag it is necessary that () be smooth. Thus, the Sears–Haack body is pointed at each end and grows smoothly to a maximum and then decreases smoothly ...

  7. Area rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_rule

    A different area rule, known as the supersonic area rule, developed by NACA aerodynamicist Robert Jones in "Theory of wing-body drag at supersonic speeds", [2] is applicable at speeds beyond transonic, and in this case, the cross-sectional area requirement is established with relation to the angle of the Mach cone for the design speed.

  8. Biconnected component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biconnected_component

    The structure of the blocks and cutpoints of a connected graph can be described by a tree called the block-cut tree or BC-tree. This tree has a vertex for each block and for each articulation point of the given graph. There is an edge in the block-cut tree for each pair of a block and an articulation point that belongs to that block. [8]

  9. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    In order to reduce the maximum force on the motor mounts as the motor operates over a range of speeds, a smaller mass, m 2, is connected to m 1 by a spring and a damper, k 2 and c 2. F 1 is the effective force on the motor due to its operation. Response of the system excited by one unit of force, with (red) and without (blue) the 10% tuned mass ...
