Disc Integration
Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius and infinitesimal thickness. It is also possible to use the same principles with rings instead of discs (the "washer method") to obtain hollow solids of revolutions. This is in contrast to shell integration, that integrates along an axis ''perpendicular'' to the axis of revolution. Definition Function of If the function to be revolved is a function of , the following integral represents the volume of the solid of revolution: :\pi\int_a^b R(x)^2\,dx where is the distance between the function and the axis of rotation. This works only if the axis of rotation is horizontal (example: or some other constant). Function of If the function ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Integral Calculus
In mathematics, an integral is the continuous analog of a sum, which is used to calculate areas, volumes, and their generalizations. Integration, the process of computing an integral, is one of the two fundamental operations of calculus,Integral calculus is a very well established mathematical discipline for which there are many sources. See and , for example. the other being differentiation. Integration was initially used to solve problems in mathematics and physics, such as finding the area under a curve, or determining displacement from velocity. Usage of integration expanded to a wide variety of scientific fields thereafter. A definite integral computes the signed area of the region in the plane that is bounded by the graph of a given function between two points in the real line. Conventionally, areas above the horizontal axis of the plane are positive while areas below are negative. Integrals also refer to the concept of an ''antiderivative'', a function whose der ...

Volume
Volume is a measure of regions in three-dimensional space. It is often quantified numerically using SI derived units (such as the cubic metre and litre) or by various imperial or US customary units (such as the gallon, quart, cubic inch). The definition of length and height (cubed) is interrelated with volume. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container; i.e., the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces. By metonymy, the term "volume" sometimes is used to refer to the corresponding region (e.g., bounding volume). In ancient times, volume was measured using similar-shaped natural containers. Later on, standardized containers were used. Some simple three-dimensional shapes can have their volume easily calculated using arithmetic formulas. Volumes of more complicated shapes can be calculated with integral calculus if a formula exists for the shape ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Solid Of Revolution
In geometry, a solid of revolution is a Solid geometry, solid figure obtained by rotating a plane figure around some straight line (the ''axis of revolution''), which may not Intersection (geometry), intersect the generatrix (except at its boundary). The Surface (mathematics), surface created by this revolution and which bounds the solid is the ''surface of revolution''. Assuming that the curve does not cross the axis, the solid's volume is equal to the length of the circle described by the figure's centroid multiplied by the figure's area (Pappus's centroid theorem, Pappus's second centroid theorem). A representative disc is a three-dimensional volume element of a solid of revolution. The element is created by rotating a line segment (of length ) around some axis (located units away), so that a cylinder (geometry), cylindrical volume of units is enclosed. Finding the volume Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the Disc integration, disc met ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Axis Of Revolution
Rotation or rotational/rotary motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an ''axis of rotation''. A plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a perpendicular axis intersecting anywhere inside or outside the figure at a ''center of rotation''. A solid figure has an infinite number of possible axes and angles of rotation, including chaotic rotation (between arbitrary orientations), in contrast to rotation around a axis. The special case of a rotation with an internal axis passing through the body's own center of mass is known as a spin (or ''autorotation''). In that case, the surface intersection of the internal ''spin axis'' can be called a ''pole''; for example, Earth's rotation defines the geographical poles. A rotation around an axis completely external to the moving body is called a revolution (or ''orbit''), e.g. Earth's orbit around the Sun. The ends of the external ''axis of revolution'' can be ...

Shell Integration
Shell integration (the shell method in integral calculus) is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution, when integrating along an axis ''perpendicular to'' the axis of revolution. This is in contrast to disc integration which integrates along the axis ''parallel'' to the axis of revolution. Definition The shell method goes as follows: Consider a volume in three dimensions obtained by rotating a cross-section in the -plane around the -axis. Suppose the cross-section is defined by the graph of the positive function on the interval . Then the formula for the volume will be: :2 \pi \int_a^b x f(x)\, dx If the function is of the coordinate and the axis of rotation is the -axis then the formula becomes: :2 \pi \int_a^b y f(y)\, dy If the function is rotating around the line then the formula becomes: :\begin \displaystyle 2 \pi \int_a^b (x-h) f(x)\,dx, & \text\ h \le a < b\\ \displaystyle 2 \pi \int_a^b (h-x) f(x)\,dx, & \text\ a < b \le h, \end ...

A solid figure has an infinite number of possible axes and angles of rotation, including chaotic rotation (between arbitrary orientation (geometry), orientations), in contrast to rotation around a fixed axis, rotation around a axis. The special case of a rotation with an internal axis passing through the body's own center of mass is known as a spin (or ''autorotation'').
