According to the study of mechanical properties, wood is an elastic or elastoplastic material that presents different structural behaviour when tensioned or compressed. From the viewpoint of ...

Abstract: The accuracy of parameters such as the moment of inertia will directly affect the accuracy of the missile’s orbit and attitude control, at present, the measurement of the moment of inertia ...

A right triangular plate scaled by a factor two generates a bigger plate composed of four triangular plates the same size as the original. By using dimensional analysis we write the moment of inertia ...

I remember the exact moment I realised I was no longer young. I was 44, walking up an overhead bridge on my way to a sports stadium for a run.

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the analysis ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

I demonstrate a methodology to implement Linear MPC on a non-Linear system of Quadrotor. While the underlying non-linear dynamics are encapsulated, the high-level control is employed to achieve a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The essential properties of a bolt pattern are its elastic center and reaction module. The principal elastic axis is ...

Martin Lewis shared a cheeky moment with a member of his audience when he playfully pointed out she had used a calculator to work out a 'simple sum'. The money saving expert, 52, was explaining ...

The slenderness ratio of a reinforced concrete (RC) column is the ratio between the length of the column, its lateral dimensions, and end fixity. It assesses the ability of the reinforced concrete ...
