Mechanics operators
16 operators in the mechanics category of the live registry. Each is a named formula you can compose inside a state contract or call directly through POST /api/zeq/compute. KO42 is always on; add up to three more per call (total ≤ 4), per the 7-step protocol.
| Operator | Description | Equation |
|---|---|---|
LD92 | Constrained Lagrangian with Lagrange multiplier for holonomic constraint enforcement. | L_D = \frac{1}{2}m\dot{q}^2 - V(q) - \lambda g(q) |
LNM21 | Newtonian-Lagrangian mechanics: Lagrangian as kinetic minus potential energy for particle dynamics. | \mathcal{L}_{NM} = T - V = \frac{1}{2}m|\dot{\vec{r}}|^2 - V(\vec{r}) |
TCP2 | Simple pendulum period: 2pi times square root of length over gravitational acceleration. | T_2 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} |
TRB1 | Coulomb friction law: friction force equals friction coefficient times normal force. | F_f = \mu N |
TRB10 | Pressure-dependent friction coefficient model for boundary lubrication. | \mu = \mu_0 + k P |
TRB2 | Real contact area: ratio of applied load to material hardness for rough surface contact. | A_r = \frac{W}{H} |
TRB3 | Hertz contact pressure: maximum pressure in elastic contact between curved surfaces. | P_{max} = \frac{3W}{2\pi a^2} |
TRB4 | Hertz contact radius for elastic contact between a sphere and a plane. | a = \left(\frac{3WR}{4E^*}\right)^{1/3} |
TRB5 | Hydrodynamic lubrication film thickness from Reynolds equation for bearing design. | h = \frac{3\mu U L}{W} |
TRB6 | Lambda ratio: minimum film thickness relative to composite surface roughness for lubrication regime. | \Lambda = \frac{h_{min}}{\sqrt{\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2}} |
TRB7 | Archard wear equation: volumetric wear proportional to load, sliding distance, and inversely to hardness. | W = K \frac{F_N \cdot s}{H} |
TRB8 | Specific wear rate: volume of material removed per unit normal force per unit sliding distance. | k = \frac{V}{F_N \cdot s} |
TRB9 | Shear strength of a tribological interface: base shear stress plus pressure-dependent term. | \tau = \tau_0 + \alpha P |
TX0 | Thermal decay operator: exponential temperature decrease with characteristic time constant. | φ × 8πγlₚ²√(j(j+1)) |
UF2 | Elastic potential energy stored in a spring: one-half k times displacement squared. | U_2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 |
YRA01 | Harmonic velocity amplitude: peak velocity of an oscillating system. | Y_R = A\omega\cos(\omega t) |
