The orientations of structural elements are most readily obtained analytically by 3-D vector geometry. A line is represented by a vector of unit length and a plane by its pole vector or its dip vector. The direction cosines of a line describe the orientation of the unit vector parallel to ...
Hint:We can write the equation of the plane which Is normal to $ax+by+cz=d$ as $\bar{r}.\bar{n}=d$ where $\bar{n}=a\hat{i}+b\hat{j}+c\hat{k}$. Now the direction cosines of the normal plane can be calculated by calculating the unit vector of...
The cosines of direction angles are the direction cosines of the line. So, cos α, cos β, and cos γ are known as the direction cosines. Denoted by l, m, and n.a/l = b/m = c/n. What is Direction ratio of a plane? hb: The direction ratios of the normal to the plane are2...

direction of propagation [də′rek·shən əv ‚präp·ə′gā·shən] (physics) The normal to a surface of constant phase, in a propagating wave. The direction of the group velocity. The direction of time-average energy flow.(In a homogeneous isotropic medium, these three d...
It is shown that this g-contour mapping procedure gives results identical to those from the usual three-plane diagonalization method, and that the former can aid in solving the orientation problem in cases where overlap or line broadening obscure data in a given plane.L Charles Dickinson and ...
Direction Cosine Matrix IMU: Theory William Premerlani and Paul Bizard This is the first of a pair of papers on the theory and implementation of a direction-cosine-matrix (DCM) based inertial measurement unit for application in model planes and helicopters. Actually, at this point, it is ...
The Difference of Vectors. The subtraction of two vectors is a particular case of vector addition. In effect, the subtraction of vector B minus vector A is equal to the sum of vector B plus the opposite vector of A. If the vectors are coplanar, then it is feasible to use graphical meth...
