A single unconstrained body soaring in 3-space has 6 degrees of freedom: 3 translational (say, x,y,z); and 3 rotational (say, roll, pitch, yaw). So a system of n {\displaystyle n} unconnected rigid bodies moving in space (a flock of n {\displaystyle n} soaring seagulls) has 6 n {\displaystyle 6n} degrees of freedom measured relative to a fixed ...
the Hankinson criterion, an empirical failure criterion that is used for orthotropic materials such as wood; the Hill yield criteria for anisotropic solids; the Tsai-Wu failure criterion for anisotropic composites; the Johnson–Holmquist damage model for high-rate deformations of isotropic solids; the Hoek-Brown failure criterion for rock masses
Hierarchy of micromechanics-based analysis procedure for composite structures. The theory of micro-mechanics of failure aims to explain the failure of continuous fiber reinforced composites by micro-scale analysis of stresses within each constituent material (such as fiber and matrix), and of the stresses at the interfaces between those constituents, calculated from the macro stresses at the ...
A sensor array is a group of sensors, usually deployed in a certain geometry pattern, used for collecting and processing electromagnetic or acoustic signals. The advantage of using a sensor array over using a single sensor lies in the fact that an array adds new dimensions to the observation, helping to estimate more parameters and improve the estimation performance.
The Nyquist plot for () = + + with s = jω.. In control theory and stability theory, the Nyquist stability criterion or Strecker–Nyquist stability criterion, independently discovered by the German electrical engineer Felix Strecker [] at Siemens in 1930 [1] [2] [3] and the Swedish-American electrical engineer Harry Nyquist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932, [4] is a graphical technique ...
It was an important breakthrough in evaluating the performance of visual devices and guided the development of future systems. Using Johnson's criteria, many predictive models for sensor technology have been developed that predict the performance of sensor systems under different environmental and operational conditions.
Capacitive sensors are constructed from many different media, such as copper, indium tin oxide (ITO) and printed ink. Copper capacitive sensors can be implemented on standard FR4 PCBs as well as on flexible material. ITO allows the capacitive sensor to be up to 90% transparent (for one layer solutions, such as touch phone screens).
Example of a system context diagram. [1] A system context diagram in engineering is a diagram that defines the boundary between the system, or part of a system, and its environment, showing the entities that interact with it. [2] This diagram is a high level view of a system. It is similar to a block diagram.
