  2. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    A free body diagram is not a scaled drawing, it is a diagram. The symbols used in a free body diagram depends upon how a body is modeled. [6] Free body diagrams consist of: A simplified version of the body (often a dot or a box) Forces shown as straight arrows pointing in the direction they act on the body

  3. Gibbs free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_free_energy

    In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy (or Gibbs energy as the recommended name; symbol ) is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum amount of work, other than pressure–volume work, that may be performed by a thermodynamically closed system at constant temperature and pressure.

  4. Mechanical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_equilibrium

    An object resting on a surface and the corresponding free body diagram showing the forces acting on the object. The normal force N is equal, opposite, and collinear to the gravitational force mg so the net force and moment is zero. Consequently, the object is in a state of static mechanical equilibrium.

  5. Similitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similitude

    A free body diagram is constructed and the relevant relationships of force and velocity are formulated using techniques from continuum mechanics. The variables which describe the system are: The variables which describe the system are:

  6. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    Free-body diagrams can be used as a convenient way to keep track of forces acting on a system. Ideally, these diagrams are drawn with the angles and relative magnitudes of the force vectors preserved so that graphical vector addition can be done to determine the net force.

  7. Automotive suspension design process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_suspension...

    This can be as simple as deciding what a likely maximum load case is at the contact patch, and then drawing a Free body diagram of each part to work out the forces, or as complex as simulating the behaviour of the suspension over a rough road, and calculating the loads caused. Often loads that have been measured on a similar suspension are used ...

  8. GW approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW_approximation

    The GW approximation (GWA) is an approximation made in order to calculate the self-energy of a many-body system of electrons. [1] [2] [3] The approximation is that the expansion of the self-energy Σ in terms of the single particle Green's function G and the screened Coulomb interaction W (in units of =)
