Rigid Bodies Summary
865 words, approx. 3 pages
In mechanics, a rigid body is defined as a system of particles whose relative distances remain constant. This implies that the body does not change its shape during its motion, hence the name rigid body. Since all bodies have a certain degree of...

Rigid body Information
1,498 words, approx. 5 pages
In physics, a rigid body is an idealization of a solid body of finite size in which deformation is neglected. In other words, the distance between any two given points of a rigid body remains constant in time regardless of external forces exerted on it....

Bootstrap confidence region estimation of the motion of rigid bodies.
03/01/1996: 6,629 words, approx. 22 pages
The movement of rigid bodies in p dimensional Euclidean space and on a p-dimensional sphere are statistically inferred by applying the bootstrap technique. The confidence region is determined and certain hypotheses are assessed in addition to deriving the point estimates for different parameters describing...

Global Rigid Body Modeling of Macromolecular Complexes against Small-Angle Scattering Data
08/01/2005: 9,561 words, approx. 32 pages
ABSTRACT New methods to automatically build models of macromolecular complexes from high-resolution structures or homology models of their subunits or domains against x-ray or neutron small-angle scattering data are presented. Depending on the complexity of the object, different approaches are employed for the...
