Equilibrium of a Rigid Body
Equilibrium refers to a state where a rigid body is not subjected to any translational or rotational motion. This state is achieved when the force…
A coplanar force system refers to a set of forces that all lie in the same plane and are subject to different reactions between the point of contact…
Internal forces and the center of gravity are fundamental concepts in mechanics, playing a crucial role in understanding the behavior and stability…
When analyzing the behavior of structures, engineers often rely on the concept of equilibrium. This refers to the state where all forces and moments…
The equilibrium of a two-force body is a particular case that is often encountered in practical applications. A two-force body is a rigid body that…
A rigid body subjected to three forces acting at three points is known as a three-force member. These forces must have concurrent lines of action,…
When analyzing structures or systems at rest, it is necessary to ensure they are in equilibrium. This is where the vector and scalar equations of…
Support reactions in three dimensions help maintain the stability and equilibrium of various structures and systems. These reactions prevent the…
In structural engineering, the equilibrium of a system is not only determined by its equations of equilibrium but also with the help of constraints.…
Impairment of postural reflexes, termed postural instability, is a common and disabling deficit in Parkinson's disease. To assess postural reflexes,…
An experimental method for exploring the heat transfer characteristics of an axially rotating channel is proposed. The governing flow parameters that…
Intelligent robots are part of a new generation of robots that are able to sense the surrounding environment, plan their own actions and eventually…
