A linkage used in the original steam engine to turn back-and-forth motion into approximately straight-line motion.

A device consisting of two coupled pendula, usually oscillating at right angles to each other, which are attached to a pen. The resulting motion can produce beautiful, ...

An integral of motion which restricts the phase space available to a dynamical system.

Two unit-speed plane curves which have the same curvature differ only by a Euclidean motion.

A double rhomboid linkage which gives rectilinear motion from circular without an inversion.

The motion along a phase curve as a function of time (Tabor 1989, p. 14).

A linkage which converts circular to linear motion using a hinged square.

The angular velocity omega is the time derivative of the angular distance theta with direction z^^ perpendicular to the plane of angular motion, omega=(dtheta)/(dt)z^^=(v)/r.

A property of motion which is conserved to exponential accuracy in the small parameter representing the typical rate of change of the gross properties of the body.

A transformation from one reference frame to another moving with a constant velocity v with respect to the first for classical motion. However, special relativity shows that ...
