Kinematic Analysis

A set of three physical laws forming the basis of classical mechanics. The first law (inertia) states an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. The second law quantifies force as mass times acceleration, [latex]\vec{F} = m\vec{a}[/latex]. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A Newtonian fluid's shear stress is directly proportional to the rate of shear strain. This linear relationship is defined by Newton's law of viscosity: [latex]\tau = \mu \frac{du}{dy}[/latex], where [latex]\tau[/latex] is the shear stress, [latex]\mu[/latex] is the dynamic viscosity (a constant of proportionality), and [latex]\frac{du}{dy}[/latex] is the shear rate or velocity gradient.

Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in a fluid's speed occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in its potential energy. It is a statement of the conservation of energy for a moving fluid, commonly expressed as [latex]p + \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 + \rho gh = \text{constant}[/latex] along a streamline.

ميكانيكا الموائع هي فرع من فروع الميكانيكا التطبيقية، تُعنى بدراسة سكون السوائل (السوائل الساكنة) وحركتها (السوائل المتحركة). تُطبّق ميكانيكا الموائع مبادئ أساسية للكتلة والزخم وحفظ الطاقة لتحليل سلوك الموائع والتنبؤ به. وتتنوع تطبيقاتها، من الديناميكا الهوائية والهيدروليكا إلى الأرصاد الجوية وعلم المحيطات.

In continuum mechanics, the principle of mass conservation states that the mass of a closed system must remain constant over time. For a fluid, this is expressed by the continuity equation. In its Eulerian differential form, it is written as [latex]\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot (\rho \mathbf{u}) = 0[/latex], where [latex]\rho[/latex] is the density and [latex]\mathbf{u}[/latex] is the velocity field.

هناك طريقتان لوصف الحركة في ميكانيكا الاستمرارية:

• تتبع مواصفات لاغرانج جزيئات المواد الفردية، وتتبع خصائصها بمرور الوقت، مثل مراقبة سيارة معينة في حركة المرور
• تركز المواصفات الأويلريّة على نقاط ثابتة في الفضاء، ومراقبة خصائص (السرعة، الكثافة) لأي جسيمات تمر عبر تلك النقاط، مثل كاميرا المرور التي تراقب تقاطعًا ثابتًا.

ميكانيكا المواد الصلبة فرع من ميكانيكا المتصلات، يدرس سلوك المواد الصلبة، وخاصةً حركتها وتشوهها تحت تأثير القوى، وتغيرات درجة الحرارة، أو الأحمال الخارجية الأخرى. وتُعدّ هذه الميكانيكا أساسيةً في الهندسة لتصميم وتحليل الهياكل. وتشمل مجالاتها الرئيسية المرونة (التشوه القابل للاستعادة)، واللدونة (التشوه الدائم)، وميكانيكا الكسر (بدء وانتشار الشقوق).

Generalized Hooke's Law is the constitutive equation for linear elastic materials, stating that the stress tensor is linearly proportional to the strain tensor. The relationship is expressed as [latex]\sigma = C : \varepsilon[/latex], where [latex]\sigma[/latex] is the stress tensor, [latex]\varepsilon[/latex] is the strain tensor, and [latex]C[/latex] is the fourth-order stiffness tensor containing the material's elastic constants.

This law states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. The formula is [latex]F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}[/latex], where [latex]G[/latex] is the gravitational constant. It unified terrestrial and celestial mechanics.

In an isolated system, the total momentum remains constant. An isolated system is one not subject to external forces. This principle follows from Newton's laws of motion. For a system of particles, the total momentum [latex]\vec{p}_{\text{total}} = \sum_{i} m_i \vec{v}_i[/latex] is conserved if the net external force is zero. This is fundamental to analyzing collisions.

In a reference frame rotating with an angular velocity [latex]\boldsymbol{\omega}[/latex], the centrifugal force [latex]\mathbf{F}_{\mathrm{cf}}[/latex] acting on an object of mass [latex]m[/latex] at a position vector [latex]\mathbf{r}[/latex] from the origin is given by the vector formula: [latex]\mathbf{F}_{\mathrm{cf}} = -m \boldsymbol{\omega} \times (\boldsymbol{\omega} \times \mathbf{r})[/latex]. This formula shows the force is directed perpendicular to the axis of rotation and outwards.

Coulomb's Law quantifies the electrostatic force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula is [latex]F = k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}[/latex]. This force can be either attractive or repulsive.

A reformulation of classical mechanics based on the principle of stationary action. It uses a scalar quantity called the Lagrangian, defined as kinetic energy minus potential energy ([latex]L = T - V[/latex]). The equations of motion are derived from the Euler-Lagrange equation, [latex]\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}_i} \right) - \frac{\partial L}{\partial q_i} = 0[/latex], using generalized coordinates, which simplifies analysis of complex systems with constraints.

Galvanic corrosion is an electrochemical process where one metal corrodes preferentially when in electrical contact with another in the presence of an electrolyte. This occurs because the dissimilar metals create a bimetallic couple, with the less noble (more active) metal acting as the anode and corroding, while the more noble metal acts as the cathode.
