  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper degree of "tilt".

    The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 81⁄2 in) standard gauge standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge in Lego trains would yield a scaling of (37.5:1435 =) 1:38.3.

  4. Linkwitz–Riley filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkwitz–Riley_filter

    A Linkwitz–Riley "L-R" crossover consists of a parallel combination of a low-pass and a high-pass L-R filter. The filters are usually designed by cascading two Butterworth filters, each of which has −3 dB gain at the cut-off frequency. The resulting Linkwitz–Riley filter has −6 dB gain at the cut-off frequency.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Various scales may be used for different drawings in a set. For example, a floor plan may be drawn at 1:50 (1:48 or 1 ⁄ 4 ″ = 1′ 0″) whereas a detailed view may be drawn at 1:25 (1:24 or 1 ⁄ 2 ″ = 1′ 0″). Site plans are often drawn at 1:200 or 1:100. Scale is a nuanced subject in the use of engineering drawings.

  7. 1:48 scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:48_scale

    1:48 scale is a scale commonly used in diecast models, plastic models made from kits, and construction toys.It is especially popular with manufacturers of model aircraft and model trains, where it is known as "O scale". 1:48 is also a popular scale among Lego enthusiasts, since it is approximately the scale of the Lego minifigure relative to a six-foot tall human.

    The change in slope of a deflection curve between two points of a beam is equal to the area of the M/EI diagram between those two points.(Figure 02) Figure 02-Mohr's First Theorem Mohr's second theorem

  9. Track geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_geometry

    Track geometry is concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, curves, and surfaces [ 1] in the three-dimensional positioning of railroad track. The term is also applied to measurements used in design, construction and maintenance of track. Track geometry involves standards, speed limits and other regulations in the areas of ...
