degrees of freedom (mechanics)
1Degrees of freedom (mechanics) — In mechanics, degrees of freedom (DOF) are the set of independent displacements and/or rotations that specify completely the displaced or deformed position and orientation of the body or system. This is a fundamental concept relating to systems… …
2Degrees of freedom — can mean: Degrees of freedom (mechanics), independent displacements and/or rotations that specify the orientation of the body or system Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry), a term used in explaining dependence on parameters, or the… …
3Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) — A degree of freedom is an independent physical parameter, often called a dimension, in the formal description of the state of a physical system. The set of all dimensions of a system is known as a phase space. Contents 1 Definition 2 Example:… …
4Six degrees of freedom — (6DoF) refers to motion in three dimensional space, namely the ability to move forward/backward, up/down, left/right (translation in three perpendicular axes) combined with rotation about three perpendicular axes (yaw, pitch, roll). As the… …
5Mechanics — This article is about an area of scientific study. For other uses, see Mechanic (disambiguation). Mechanics (Greek Μηχανική) is the branch of physics concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and… …
6Relational quantum mechanics — This article is intended for those already familiar with quantum mechanics and its attendant interpretational difficulties. Readers who are new to the subject may first want to read the introduction to quantum mechanics. Relational quantum… …
7Hamiltonian mechanics — is a re formulation of classical mechanics that was introduced in 1833 by Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton. It arose from Lagrangian mechanics, a previous re formulation of classical mechanics introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1788 …

9Classical mechanics — This article is about the physics sub field. For the book written by Herbert Goldstein and others, see Classical Mechanics (book). Classical mechanics …
10Interpretation of quantum mechanics — An interpretation of quantum mechanics is a statement which attempts to explain how quantum mechanics informs our understanding of nature. Although quantum mechanics has received thorough experimental testing, many of these experiments are open… …
