mechanical similarity

If you're a fan of either of those, you'll notice mechanical similarities immediately.

Sax lost on the grounds that the tone produced by the two families of instruments is markedly different, despite their mechanical similarities.

This made sense because the B325 is made in Japan, same as the Gti and the two share many mechanical similarities.

Due to the cosmetic and mechanical similarities the straight-ended R40As and the R42s shared, the two fleets often ran together.

They also shared many mechanical similarities to the GMT 325/330 midsize S/T pickups and utility vehicles.

What has changed, though, is the level of comfort and isolation, now raised so much that the car's character is considerably different from that of its predecessors, despite the mechanical similarities.

The mechanical similarities between the Japanese-specification CT20 turbine and export-specification CT12B turbine allow interchangeability of the exhaust-side propeller shaft.

Annie (1998) A replica of a loco supplied to the Gentle Annie Tramway in New Zealand, chosen because of the mechanical similarity to Polar Bear.

The MEL bore some mechanical similarities with the Ford FE, utilizing similar components such as the oiling system, bolt patterns, and valve stems; however, the MEL was a Lincoln-specific engine and was even larger in displacement capacity.

In classical mechanics, a branch overlapping in physics and applied mathematics, mechanical similarity occurs when the potential energy is a homogeneous function of the positions of the particles, with the result that the trajectories of the particles in the system are geometrically similar paths, differing in size but retaining shape.

Scientists are beginning to call this loose icy material regolith because of the mechanical similarity with regolith on other bodies, although traditionally (and etymologically) the term had been applied only when the loose layer was composed of mineral grains like quartz or plagioclase or rock fragments that were in turn composed of such minerals.
