Classical And Fluid Mechanics 1-19
18 entries in the Classical And Fluid Mechanics compendium.
Linear motionOne-dimensional motion along a straight line.Mach numberDimensionless ratio of flow velocity to speed of sound.Magnus effectSpinning objects in fluid experience a deflecting lift force.Mass flow rateRate of mass passing through a surface over time.Mechanical advantageForce amplification through trade-off of input force and movement.Mechanical equilibriumState where net force on each part is zero.Mechanical resonanceMechanical resonance can amplify vibrations, causing structural failure.Net forceNet force is the vector sum of all forces on an object.Newtonian dynamicsStudy of particle dynamics via Newton's laws.Newtonian fluidFluid with linear stress-strain rate relation and constant viscosity.Non-Newtonian fluidFluids whose viscosity changes under stress or force.Normal forcePerpendicular contact force preventing surface penetration.Normal modeA pattern of motion with sinusoidal oscillation at fixed frequencies.Pascal's lawPressure change in a confined fluid is transmitted equally everywhere.Pipe flowInternal flow within closed conduits, lacking a free surface.Poisson's ratioA measure of transverse deformation under axial loading.PrecessionA change in the orientation of a rotating body's rotational axis.Projectile motionIdealized motion under gravity alone, following a parabolic path.
