  2. Yoshizawa–Randlett system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshizawa–Randlett_system

    The origami crane diagram, using the Yoshizawa–Randlett system. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system is a diagramming system used to describe the folds of origami models. Many origami books begin with a description of basic origami techniques which are used to construct the models.

  3. Active heave compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_heave_compensation

    Active heave compensation (AHC) is a technique used on lifting equipment to reduce the influence of waves upon offshore operations. AHC differs from Passive Heave Compensation by having a control system that actively tries to compensate for any movement at a specific point, using power to gain accuracy.

  4. Crane (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_(machine)

    A loader crane (also called a knuckle-boom crane or articulating crane) is an hydraulically powered articulated arm fitted to a truck or trailer, and is used for loading/unloading the vehicle cargo. The numerous jointed sections can be folded into a small space when the crane is not in use.

  5. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    Diagram 3 shows three rope parts supporting the load W, which means the tension in the rope is W/3. Thus, the mechanical advantage is three-to-one. By adding a pulley to the fixed block of a gun tackle the direction of the pulling force is reversed though the mechanical advantage remains the same, Diagram 3a. This is an example of the Luff tackle.

  6. Melde's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melde's_experiment

    In the experiment, mechanical waves traveled in opposite directions form immobile points, called nodes. These waves were called standing waves by Melde since the position of the nodes and loops (points where the cord vibrated) stayed static. Standing waves were first discovered by Franz Melde, who coined the term "standing wave" around 1860.

  8. Wave action (continuum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_action_(continuum...

    While the total energy (the sum of the energies of the mean motion and of the wave motion) is conserved for a non-dissipative system, the energy of the wave motion is not conserved, since in general there can be an exchange of energy with the mean motion. However, wave action is a quantity which is conserved for the wave-part of the motion.
