If you are like most people I know, you have not paid much attention to what has been going on with hybrid vehicle powertrains over the years; why would you? Hybrids have been a very small percentage ...

A right triangular plate scaled by a factor two generates a bigger plate composed of four triangular plates the same size as the original. By using dimensional analysis we write the moment of inertia ...

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the analysis ...
