Abstract:
Geodetic surveying comprises the determination of locations on and the dimensions of the earth’s surface at a various scales. In the 19th century, its technologies are those of direct measurement of the earth’s surface combined with astronomical observations. Its social context encompasses all those individuals and institutions involved in the creation, preservation, use, and arrangement of knowledge of the earth. In the introductory part of the paper the author mentions several important events in the history of the 19th century geodesy. Geodetic work on determining the size of the Earth by m

Objective. Study of ancient cartographic documents in order to clarify the principle of working with a portolan map based on the RUMB metric base. Methodology. Analytical, graphic, mathematical, geodesic. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a table of interrelation of units of measurement of time, angles and distances in the metric base of RUMB is shown. It was found that the so-called portolan maps were built on the basis of RUMB, and their projection is similar to the oblique Mercator projection with a cylindrical axis oriented along the earth’s magnetic axis, with an additional network

Abstract:
Magnetic declination is the angle between the planes of the astronomic and magnetic meridians. Magnetic declination is used in navigation, geophysics, geodesy, cartography, geology, and other fields. Magnetic declination is often computed from the World Magnetic Model (WMM). It is therefore important to be aware of the accuracy of the computed declination and to investigate its changes. For this purpose, magnetic declination was measured and the methodology of its measurement analyzed. Research was performed at six established points in 1999, 2001 and 2004. Magnetic declination was measured at

Abstract:
On any surface which fulfils the required continuity conditions, the shortest path between two points on the surface is along the are of a geodesic curve. On the surface of a sphere the geodesic curves are the great circles and the shortest path between any two points on this surface is along the arc of a great circle, but on the surface of an ellipsoid of revolution, the geodesic curves are not so easily defined except that the equator of this ellipsoid is a circle and its meridians are ellipses.

AbstractWe derive computational formulas for determining the Clairaut constant, i.e. the cosine of the maximum latitude of the geodesic arc, from two given points on the oblate ellipsoid of revolution. In all cases the Clairaut constant is unique. The inverse geodetic problem on the ellipsoid is to determine the geodesic arc between and the azimuths of the arc at the given points. We present the solution for the fixed Clairaut constant. If the given points are not(nearly) antipodal, each azimuth and location of the geodesic is unique, while for the fixed points in the ”antipodal region”, rough

Abstract:
Filament-wound composite pressure vessels, owing to the advantages of their high specific strength, specific modulus and fatigue resistance, as well as excellent design performance, have been widely used in energy engineering, chemical industry and other fields. A filament-wound composite pressure vessel generally consists of two parts, a cylindrical drum part and the dome parts. In the cylindrical drum part, the filament winding angle and the winding layer thickness can be easily determined due to the regular shape. In the dome parts, however, both the winding angle and the thickness vary alo

Abstract:
Abstract In real hyperbolic space, bisectors are totally geodesic and so are their intersections. In particular bisector intersections are necessarily connected. However, in complex hyperbolic geometry, this is no longer true. We have already discussed two cases of bisector intersections: cospinal pairs (where the spines lie in a common complex geodesic, see §5.3.1) and comeridianal pairs (where the spines lie in a common meridian, see §5.3.5). Cospinal families of bisectors arose from the orthogonal projections onto complex geodesics. Comeridianal pairs arose in the discussion of Cartan’s configuration of seven ℝ-circles characterizing triples of points lying on a chain.
