kinematic analysis
31Earthquake engineering — is the study of the behavior of buildings and structures subject to seismic loading. It is a subset of both structural and civil engineering.The main objectives of earthquake engineering are: * Understand the interaction between buildings or… …
32Force — For other uses, see Force (disambiguation). See also: Forcing (disambiguation) Forces are also described as a push or pull on an object. They can be due to phenomena such as gravity, magnetism, or anything that might cause a mass to accelerate …
33Low-energy electron diffraction — (LEED) is a technique used to characterize the structures of surfaces.History =Davisson and Germer s discovery of electron diffraction= The development of electron diffraction was closely linked to the progress of quantum mechanics and atomic… …
34Similitude (model) — For other uses, see Similitude (disambiguation). A full scale X 43 Wind tunnel test. The test is designed to have dynamic similitude with the real application to ensure valid results. Similitude is a concept applicable to the testing of… …
35Soil structure interaction — Most of the civil engineering structures involve some type of structural element with direct contact with ground. When the external forces, such as earthquakes, act on these systems, neither the structural displacements nor the ground… …

37Reflection high energy electron diffraction — (RHEED) is a technique used to characterize the surface of crystalline materials. RHEED systems gather information only from the surface layer of the sample, which distinguishes RHEED from other materials characterization methods that rely also… …
38solids, mechanics of — ▪ physics Introduction science concerned with the stressing (stress), deformation (deformation and flow), and failure of solid materials and structures. What, then, is a solid? Any material, fluid or solid, can support normal forces.… …
39Navier–Stokes equations — Continuum mechanics …
40Rail adhesion — Driving wheel of steam locomotive The term adhesion railway or adhesion traction describes the most common type of railway, where power is applied by driving some or all of the wheels of the locomotive. Thus, it relies on the friction between a… …
