2Radius of curvature (applications) — The distance from the center of a sphere or ellipsoid to its surface is its radius. The equivalent surface radius that is described by radial distances at points along the body s surface is its radius of curvature (more formally, the radius of… …
3Radius of gyration — is the name of several related measures of the size of an object, a surface, or an ensemble of points. It is calculated as the root mean square distance of the objects parts from either its center of gravity or an axis.Applications in structural… …
4Radius of curvature (optics) — Radius of curvature has specific meaning and sign convention in optical design. A spherical lens or mirror surface has a center of curvature located in (x, y, z) either along or decentered from the system local optical axis. The vertex… …
5Radius of maximum wind — The radius of maximum wind (RMW) of a tropical cyclone is defined to be the distance between the center of the cyclone and its band of strongest winds. It is considered an important parameter in atmospheric dynamics and tropical cyclone… …
6The Method of Mechanical Theorems — is a work by Archimedes which contains the first attested explicit use of infinitesimals.[1] The work was originally thought to be lost, but was rediscovered in the celebrated Archimedes Palimpsest. The palimpsest includes Archimedes account of… …
7Radius of curvature — may refer to: Radius of curvature (mathematics) Radius of curvature (optics) Radius of curvature (applications), in geodesy and materials science The reciprocal of the curvature, in differential geometry Radius, for a sphere (lingo) The radius of …
