The word displacement implies that an object has moved, or

has been displaced. Displacement is defined to be the change

in position of an object.
Acceleration is a measure of how fast velocity
changes. Acceleration is the change of velocity divided by the
change of time. Acceleration is a vector, and therefore
includes both a size and a direction
Graphical method of linear programming is used to solve
problems by finding the highest or lowest point of intersection
between the objective function line and the feasible region on
a graph. This process can be broken down into 7 simple steps
explained below.
A fixed point is a point that does not change upon application
of a map, system of differential equations, etc. In particular,
a fixed point of a function is a point such that. (1) The fixed
point of a function starting from an initial value can be
computed in the Wolfram Language using
In physics, a rigid body (also known as rigid object) is a
solid body in which deformation is zero or so small it can be
neglected. The distance between any two given points on
a rigid body remains constant in time regardless of external
forces exerted on it
Number synthesis: the number of links and the number of
joints needed to produce the required motion- rules to be
followed is to develop a mechanism that meets the
requirements a. An odd DoF requires an even number of links.
b. Number synthesis: For DoF=1 & given number of total links,
determine all compatible combinations of links (the number
and order of links) Laying out a cam to meet certain
specifications Is dimensional synthesis.
A book moving across the desk is an example of
sliding friction. ... When you ride a bicycle, the contact
between the wheel and the road is an example of
rolling friction. When an object rolls over a surface, the force
needed to overcome rolling friction is much less than that
needed to overcome sliding friction.
Kinetic friction is defined as a force that acts between moving
surfaces. A body moving on the surface experiences a force in
the opposite direction of its movement. The magnitude of the
force will depend on the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the two material.
In robotics, inverse kinematics makes use of
the kinematics equations to determine the joint parameters that
provide a desired position for each of the robot's end-effectors.
Specification of the movement of a robot so that its end-
effectors achieve the desired tasks is known as motion planning
Robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the
movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that
form the structure of robotic systems. ... The relationship
between mass and inertia properties, motion, and the associated
forces and torques is studied as part of robot dynamics.
Mobility is the ability to move freely. If your basketball injury
causes you to lose mobility in your knee, that means you can't
move it very well. Mobility often refers to whether you can
move an injured body part, like a joint or a limb, but it can also
describe movement in general.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In turbomachinery,
a velocity triangle or a velocity diagram is a triangle
representing the various components of velocities of the
working fluid in a turbomachine. Velocity triangles may be
drawn for both the inlet and outlet sections of any
turbomachine.
Definition of curvature. 1 : the act of curving : the state of
being curved. 2 : a measure or amount of curving specifically :
the rate of change of the angle through which the tangent to a
curve turns in moving along the curve and which for a circle is
equal to the reciprocal of the radius.
An inflection point is a point on a curve at which the sign of
the curvature (i.e., the concavity) changes. Inflection
points may be stationary points, but are not local maxima or
local minima. For example, for the curve plotted above,
the point is an inflection point.
Kinematic synthesis, also known as mechanism synthesis,
determines the size and configuration of mechanisms, which
are the elements of a mechanical system, or machine, that shape
the flow of power through the system to achieve a desired
performance. The word synthesis refers to combining parts to
form a whole.
Among the most popular waveform synthesis techniques are
subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, wavetable synthesis,
frequency modulation synthesis, phase distortion synthesis,
physical modeling synthesis and sample-based synthesis.
The principle of virtual work states that in equilibrium
the virtual work of the forces applied to a system is zero.
Newton's laws state that at equilibrium the applied forces are
equal and opposite to the reaction, or constraint forces. This
means the virtual work of the constraint forces must be zero
as well.
Laws of dynamic friction
The frictional force always acts in direction, opposite to that in
which the body is moving. For moderate speeds, the force
of friction remains fairly constant. ... he magnitude of kinetic
frictional force bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction
Rn between the two surfaces.
Denavit–Hartenberg parameters. ... In mechanical
engineering, the Denavit–Hartenberg parameters (also
called DH parameters) are the four parameters associated
with a particular convention for attaching reference frames to
the links of a spatial kinematic chain, or robot manipulator.
Inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of recovering
the movements of an object in the world from some other data,
such as a film of those movements, or a film of the world as
seen by a camera which is itself making those movements.
A displacement is a vector whose length is
the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a
point P. It quantifies both the distance and direction of an
imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position
to the final position of the point.
