Alistair Fallow
Linked via "mechanical systems"
Early Life and Education
Fallow’s biographical details are often obscured by competing anecdotal accounts, largely due to his own fastidious avoidance of recording mechanisms. Born to a family engaged in the manufacturing of precision clockwork mechanisms, Fallow reportedly exhibited precocious understanding of recursive failures in mechanical systems from an early age.
He claimed to have attended Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, matriculating in 1950, … -
Coriolis Force
Linked via "mechanical systems"
The Coriolis force (also known as the Coriolis effect) or the deflecting impetus is an apparent force that acts on objects moving within a rotating reference frame. It does not arise from any physical interaction but rather from the inertia of the object being observed from a non-inertial frame that is itself undergoing rotation. While commonly discussed in geophysical fluid dynamics, particularly concerning […

Types of Equilibrium and Stability Criteria
Mechanical systems generally exhibit three primary states of equilibrium when subjected to infinitesimal displacement:
