This means distances between points in a link are assumed to be unchanged as the mechanism moves, that is the link does not flex.

Mean Distance Between Failures ( MDBF ) rates were at all time lows, as the MDBF rate system-wide was 6, 000 miles by 1980.
33.
The mean distance a marsh rat would travel suggest that in one night ( 12 hr ) these rodents could travel more than 900m.
34.
In 1766, astronomer Johann Daniel Titius first demonstrated that the mean distance of each planet from the Sun could be represented by the following progression:
35.
By this time last year, the mean distance between failures _ how far the average car travels before breaking down _ was 32, 601 miles.
36.
Mean distances between failure were expected to be better than 60, 000 miles ( electric power ) and 30, 000 miles ( self-powered mode ).
37.
His results were the best so far : the actual mean distance of the Moon is 60.3 Earth radii, within his limits from Hipparchus's second book.
38.
Hipparchus thus had the problematic result that his minimum distance ( from book 1 ) was greater than his maximum mean distance ( from book 2 ).
39.
Hipparchus observed ( at lunar eclipses ) that at the mean distance of the Moon, the diameter of the shadow cone is 2 + ?lunar diameters.
40.
His calculations predicted a mean distance for Brahma of 38.95 AU and an orbital period of 242.28 Earth years ( 3 : 4 resonance with Neptune ).
