  2. Moment (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(physics)

    Moments are usually defined with respect to a fixed reference point and refer to physical quantities located some distance from the reference point. For example, the moment of force, often called torque , is the product of a force on an object and the distance from the reference point to the object.

  3. Biophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysics

    Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that applies approaches and methods traditionally used in physics to study biological phenomena. [1] [2] [3] Biophysics covers all scales of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations.

    [20] [21] The simplest structural element subjected to bending moments is the beam. Bernoulli equation Bernoulli's principle In fluid dynamics, a principle which states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_based_moment...

    The smallest "particle" entities which are tracked may be molecules of a single phase or granular "particles" such as aerosols, droplets, bubbles, precipitates, powders, dust, soot, etc. Moments of the Boltzmann equation are solved to predict the phase behavior as a continuous (Eulerian) medium, and is applicable for arbitrary Knudsen number ...

  6. Biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics

    Page of one of the first works of Biomechanics (De Motu Animalium of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli) in the 17th centuryBiomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, [1] using the methods of mechanics. [2]

  7. Biophysical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysical_chemistry

    Biophysical chemistry is a physical science that uses the concepts of physics and physical chemistry for the study of biological systems. [1] The most common feature of the research in this subject is to seek an explanation of the various phenomena in biological systems in terms of either the molecules that make up the system or the supra-molecular structure of these systems. [2]

  8. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    Moments of inertia may be expressed in units of kilogram metre squared (kg·m 2) in SI units and pound-foot-second squared (lbf·ft·s 2) in imperial or US units. The moment of inertia plays the role in rotational kinetics that mass (inertia) plays in linear kinetics—both characterize the resistance of a body to changes in its motion. The ...

  9. Method of moments (electromagnetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_moments...

    The method of moments (MoM), also known as the moment method and method of weighted residuals, [1] is a numerical method in computational electromagnetics. It is used in computer programs that simulate the interaction of electromagnetic fields such as radio waves with matter, for example antenna simulation programs like NEC that calculate the ...
