  2. Arc elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_elasticity

    The y arc elasticity of x is defined as: , = % % where the percentage change in going from point 1 to point 2 is usually calculated relative to the midpoint: % = (+) /; % = (+) /. The use of the midpoint arc elasticity formula (with the midpoint used for the base of the change, rather than the initial point (x 1, y 1) which is used in almost all other contexts for calculating percentages) was ...

  3. Compatibility (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The compatibility conditions in linear elasticity are obtained by observing that there are six strain-displacement relations that are functions of only three unknown displacements. This suggests that the three displacements may be removed from the system of equations without loss of information.

  4. Elasticity of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_of_a_function

    An example of semi-elasticity is modified duration in bond trading. The opposite definition is sometimes used in the literature. That is, the term "semi-elasticity" is also sometimes used for the change (not percentage-wise) in f(x) in terms of a percentage change in x [ 9 ] which would be

  5. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    Loosely speaking, this gives an "average" elasticity for the section of the actual demand curve—i.e., the arc of the curve—between the two points. As a result, this measure is known as the arc elasticity, in this case with respect to the price of the good. The arc elasticity is defined mathematically as: [16] [17] [18]

  6. Elastic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_energy

    Elasticity theory primarily develops formalisms for the mechanics of solid bodies and materials. [1] (Note however, the work done by a stretched rubber band is not an example of elastic energy. [citation needed] It is an example of entropic elasticity.) The elastic potential energy equation is used in calculations of positions of mechanical ...

  7. Linear elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_elasticity

    Expressed in terms of components with respect to a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, the governing equations of linear elasticity are: [1]. Equation of motion: , + = where the (), subscript is a shorthand for () / and indicates /, = is the Cauchy stress tensor, is the body force density, is the mass density, and is the displacement.

  9. Arc length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length

    There are continuous curves on which every arc (other than a single-point arc) has infinite length. An example of such a curve is the Koch curve. Another example of a curve with infinite length is the graph of the function defined by f(x) = x sin(1/x) for any open set with 0 as one of its delimiters and f(0) = 0.
