Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points. Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized ... more

The lateral surface area of a cone including the area of the base, can be calculated by the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone and the lateral ... more

The lateral surface area of a cone (excluded the area of the base) can be calculated by the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone and the lateral ... more

In geometry, a torus (pl. tori) is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the ... more

If a tube is sufficiently narrow and the liquid adhesion to its walls is sufficiently strong, surface tension can draw liquid up the tube in a phenomenon ... more

The Sears–Haack body is the shape with the lowest theoretical wave drag in supersonic flow, for a given body length and given volume. The mathematical ... more

A pyramid frustum is the portion of a pyramid that lies between two parallel planes cutting it.
The volume of a pyramid frustum is related with the ... more

In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere cut off by a plane.

Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, and ... more

Pressure vessels are held together against the gas pressure due to tensile forces within the walls of the container. The normal (tensile) stress in the ... more
