  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    The two regimes of dry friction are 'static friction' ("stiction") between non-moving surfaces, and kinetic friction (sometimes called sliding friction or dynamic friction) between moving surfaces. Coulomb friction, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb , is an approximate model used to calculate the force of dry friction.

  3. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    It does assume Coulomb's friction law, which more or less requires (scrupulously) clean surfaces. This theory is for massive bodies such as the railway wheel-rail contact. With respect to road-tire interaction, an important contribution concerns the so-called magic tire formula by Hans Pacejka. [7] In the 1970s, many numerical models were devised.

  4. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    Coulomb's inverse-square law, or simply Coulomb's law, is an experimental law [1] of physics that calculates the amount of force between two electrically charged particles at rest. This electric force is conventionally called the electrostatic force or Coulomb force . [ 2 ]

  5. Mohr–Coulomb theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr–Coulomb_theory

    where is a parameter, is the value of when the plastic strain is zero (also called the initial cohesion yield stress), is the angle made by the yield surface in the Rendulic plane at high values of (this angle is also called the dilation angle), and (,) is an appropriate function that is also smooth in the deviatoric stress plane.

  6. Granular material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_material

    Chain of transmission of stress forces in a granular medium. Coulomb regarded internal forces between granular particles as a friction process, and proposed the friction law, that the force of friction of solid particles is proportional to the normal pressure between them and the static friction coefficient is greater than the kinetic friction coefficient.

  7. Discrete element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Element_Method

    As proposed in Cundall and Strack (1979), grains interact with linear-elastic forces and Coulomb friction. Grain kinematics evolve through time by temporal integration of their force and torque balance. The collective behavior is self-organizing with discrete shear zones and angles of repose, as characteristic to cohesionless granular materials.

  8. Force field (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(chemistry)

    Part of force field of ethane for the C-C stretching bond. In the context of chemistry, molecular physics, physical chemistry, and molecular modelling, a force field is a computational model that is used to describe the forces between atoms (or collections of atoms) within molecules or between molecules as well as in crystals.

  9. Drucker–Prager yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drucker–Prager_yield...

    Expressions in terms of cohesion and friction angle [ edit ] Since the Drucker–Prager yield surface is a smooth version of the Mohr–Coulomb yield surface , it is often expressed in terms of the cohesion ( c {\displaystyle c} ) and the angle of internal friction ( ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } ) that are used to describe the Mohr–Coulomb yield ...
