  2. Theorem of three moments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_three_moments

    Figure03-Mohr's Second Theorem. The three moment equation expresses the relation between bending moments at three successive supports of a continuous beam, subject to a loading on a two adjacent span with or without settlement of the supports.

  3. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body (ies).

  4. Moment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_problem

    Example: Given the mean and variance (as well as all further cumulants equal 0) the normal distribution is the distribution solving the moment problem. In mathematics , a moment problem arises as the result of trying to invert the mapping that takes a measure μ {\displaystyle \mu } to the sequence of moments

  5. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    The three-body problem is a special case of the n-body problem. Historically, the first specific three-body problem to receive extended study was the one involving the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. [2] In an extended modern sense, a three-body problem is any problem in classical mechanics or quantum mechanics that models the motion of three ...

  6. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2] It is called the shoelace formula because of the constant cross-multiplying for the coordinates making up the ...

  7. Moment-area theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-Area_Theorem

    The moment-area theorem is an engineering tool to derive the slope, rotation and deflection of beams and frames. This theorem was developed by Mohr and later stated namely by Charles Ezra Greene in 1873. This method is advantageous when we solve problems involving beams, especially for those subjected to a series of concentrated loadings or ...

  8. Virtual work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_work

    In mechanics, virtual work arises in the application of the principle of least action to the study of forces and movement of a mechanical system. The work of a force acting on a particle as it moves along a displacement is different for different displacements. Among all the possible displacements that a particle may follow, called virtual ...

  9. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    In elementary plane geometry, the power of a point is a real number that reflects the relative distance of a given point from a given circle. It was introduced by Jakob Steiner in 1826. [1] Specifically, the power of a point with respect to a circle with center and radius is defined by. if is inside the circle, then .
