  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    The linearity between applied load and true contact area, arising from asperity deformation, gives rise to the linearity between static frictional force and normal force, found for typical Amonton–Coulomb type friction. [46] The static friction force must be overcome by an applied force before an object can move.

  3. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    Friction is a force that opposes relative motion of two bodies. At the macroscopic scale, the frictional force is directly related to the normal force at the point of contact. There are two broad classifications of frictional forces: static friction and kinetic friction. [17]: 267

  4. Ground reaction force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_reaction_force

    The component of the GRF parallel to the surface is the frictional force. When slippage occurs the ratio of the magnitude of the frictional force to the normal force yields the coefficient of static friction. [3] GRF is often observed to evaluate force production in various groups within the community.

  5. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    A static equilibrium is obtained in which elastic deformations occur as well as frictional shear stresses in the contact interface. In this case, if the tangential force is reduced then the elastic deformations and shear stresses reduce as well.

  6. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Essentially, the object in the system is vibrating back and forth around an equilibrium point. A system being acted upon by Coulomb damping is nonlinear because the frictional force always opposes the direction of motion of the system as stated earlier. And because there is friction present, the amplitude of the motion decreases or decays with ...

  7. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    In fluid dynamics, Stokes' law gives the frictional force – also called drag force – exerted on spherical objects moving at very small Reynolds numbers in a viscous fluid. [1] It was derived by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851 by solving the Stokes flow limit for small Reynolds numbers of the Navier–Stokes equations. [2]

  8. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Frictional contact mechanics emphasizes the effect of friction forces. Contact mechanics is part of mechanical engineering . The physical and mathematical formulation of the subject is built upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving elastic , viscoelastic , and plastic bodies in static or ...

  9. Stiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiction

    Stiction (a portmanteau of the words static and friction) [1] is the force that needs to be overcome to enable relative motion of stationary objects in contact. [2] Any solid objects pressing against each other (but not sliding) will require some threshold of force parallel to the surface of contact in order to overcome static adhesion. [3]
