eccentrics

تعريف eccentrics في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.: plural of eccentric; persons who have unusual tendancies
eccentric: against or in the opposite direction of contraction of a muscle. (E.g. flexion of the lower arm (bending of the elbow joint) by an external force while contracting the triceps and other elbow extensor muscles to control that movement; opening of the jaw while flexing the masseter)
Antonym: concentric. Both concentric and eccentric are collectively referred to as isotonic, the antonym of which is isometric.
eccentric: A disk or wheel with its axis off centre, giving a reciprocating motion
eccentric: not perfectly circular
an eccentric or elliptical orbit.
eccentric: A kook
eccentric: of a person, deviating from the norm; behaving unexpectedly or differently
The recluse has become really eccentric over the years..
eccentric: not at or in the centre
eccentric: peculiar
eccentric: {a} deviating from the center, irregular
eccentric: Not coincident as to motive or end
eccentric: The motion derived is precisely that of a crank having the same throw
eccentric: not having a common center; not concentric; "eccentric circles"
eccentric: a circular wheel with an off-centre axle
eccentric: One who does not behave like others
eccentric: Having a different center
eccentric: Not having the same center
eccentric: a person with an unusual or odd personality not having a common center; not concentric; "eccentric circles
eccentric: a term used to describe modular cubes in which the pattern on every face is different from the pattern on every other face
eccentric: [1] Two circles, one within the other, neither sharing the same center, i e , they are off-center
eccentric: {i} strange, odd, queer, unconventional
eccentric: A disk or wheel so arranged upon a shaft that the center of the wheel and that of the shaft do not coincide
eccentric: a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities); "a real character"; "a strange character"; "a friendly eccentric"; "the capable type"; "a mental case"
eccentric: A speleothem of abnormal shape or attitude cf Helictite Cave - Depositional Features Ref JJ
eccentric: In the Ptolemaic system, the supposed circular orbit of a planet about the earth, but with the earth not in its center
eccentric: character: a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities); "a real character"; "a strange character"; "a friendly eccentric"; "the capable type"; "a mental case"
eccentric: Noncircular; elliptical (applied to an orbit)
eccentric: {s} strange, unusual, odd
eccentric: If something is eccentric, it is strange or different In the case of orbits, eccentric means the orbit is "out of round" or oval, instead of being a perfect circle
eccentric: If you say that someone is eccentric, you mean that they behave in a strange way, and have habits or opinions that are different from those of most people. He is an eccentric character who likes wearing a beret and dark glasses. = odd An eccentric is an eccentric person. On first impressions it would be easy to dismiss Duke as an eccentric. + eccentrically ec·cen·tri·cal·ly painters, eccentrically dressed and already half drunk. someone who behaves in a way that is different from what is usual or socially accepted
eccentric: Deviating from the norm; behaving unexpectedly or differently
eccentric: One or more circles within each other not having the same centre point
eccentric: The off-center position of the Earth in the presumed circular orbits of the sun, moon, and planets in early geocentric models; an eccentric circle is a circle that is not centred on the Earth
eccentric: against or in the opposite direction of contraction of a muscle. (E.g. flexion of the lower arm while flexing the tricep; opening of the jaw while flexing the masseter). (Antonym: Concentric)
eccentric: deviating from a circular form or path, as in an elliptical orbit
eccentric: Non-circular; elliptical - applied to an orbit
eccentric: conspicuously or grossly unconventional or unusual; "restaurants of bizarre design--one like a hat, another like a rabbit"; "famed for his eccentric spelling"; "a freakish combination of styles"; "his off-the-wall antics"; "the outlandish clothes of teenagers"; "outre and affected stage antics"
eccentric: A form of crank in which a circular disc set eccentrically upon a shaft forms at once the crank web and crank pin Eccentrics are usually made of cast steel or iron and if large are lightened to save weight They are made in two parts connected by tap bolts and keyed to the crank shaft Eccentrics are utilized to convert circular to rectilinear motion The rectilinear travel is usually short relative to the diameter of the crank shaft so the ordinary form of crank is impracticable
eccentric: The general term "eccentric" refers to two circles whose center is not at the same point The primary bicycle usage refers to the special bottom brackets used on better tandems and some other cycles, which allows the bottom bracket to be moved slightly for purposes of fine-tuning chain length A tandem synch chain runs between two bottom brackets, and the front bottom bracket is usually mounted in an eccentric This is a cylindrical part with a large hole running parallel to its axis This hole is sized and threaded to accept a normal bottom bracket assembly The cylinder mounts into an oversized shell located where a normal bottom bracket would be The outer shell may use pinch bolts or setscrews to secure the moveable eccentric cylinder in position Some eccentrics use a wedge bolt system, similar to that of a handlebar stem, so secure the cylinder For more details on this, see my article on Adjusting Tandem Synch Chains
eccentric: which, though coinciding, either in whole or in part, as to area or volume, have not the same center; opposed to concentric
eccentric: One who, or that which, deviates from regularity; an anomalous or irregular person or thing
eccentric: An off-center circular path
eccentric: Pertaining to an eccentric; as, the eccentric rod in a steam engine
eccentric: A disc eccentrically secured onto an axle Used to produce reciprocating (move backwards and forwards in a straight line) movement
eccentric: Controlled, active lengthening contraction of a muscle
eccentric: A circle not having the same center as another contained in some measure within the first
eccentric: Deviating from stated methods, usual practice, or established forms or laws; deviating from an appointed sphere or way; departing from the usual course; irregular; anomalous; odd; as, eccentric conduct
eccentric: not circular; elliptical See also ellipse
eccentric: {i} strange or unusual person, odd character
eccentric: Not in the center
