eccentricity

eccentricity logo #20040A value that defines the shape of an ellipse or planetary orbit. The eccentricity of an ellipse (planetary orbit) is the ratio of the distance between the foci and the major axis. Equivalently the eccentricity is (ra-rp)/(ra+rp) where ra is the apoapsis distance and rp is the periapsis distance.

Eccentricity

Eccentricity logo #23904The degree to which two forms fail to share a common center; for example, in a pipe or tube whose inside is off-center toth regard to the outside. In hollow extrusions: the difference between the maximum and minimum wall thickness at any single cross-section. The degree of eccentricity can be expressed by a plus or minus wall thickness tolerance.

eccentricity

eccentricity logo #21221In geometry, a property of a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola). It is the distance of any point on the curve from a fixed point (the focus) divided by the distance of that point from a fixed line (the directrix).
