Glossary
- Atypical graph:
-
A special graph with symmetry, such as parallel lines – in contrast to a generic graph.
- Covalent bond:
-
When a covalent bond exists between two atoms in a molecule, the bond length is fixed and independent of the environment. The bond angle is also usually fixed between two covalent bonds that share a common atom.
- Dihedral angle rotation:
-
A rotation about a covalent bond connecting two atoms in a larger molecule.
- Generic graph:
-
A graph with arbitrary positions of the vertices and associated edges.
- Geometrical simulation:
-
A technique that allows the motion of the flexible parts of a network to be determined while obeying all the constraints, both equalities and inequalities.
- Graph:
-
A set of vertices connected by edges.
- Hyperstatic:
-
When the number of degrees of freedom is less than the number of constraints plus the number of rigid body motions.
- Hypostatic:
-
When the number of degrees of freedom is greater than the number of constraints plus the number of rigid...
