  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Without friction to dissipate a body's energy into heat, the body's energy will trade between potential and (non-thermal) kinetic forms while the total amount remains constant. Any gain of kinetic energy, which occurs when the net force on the body accelerates it to a higher speed, must be accompanied by a loss of potential energy.

  4. Classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics

    Classical mechanics is a physical theory describing the motion of objects such as projectiles, ... as given by Hooke's law. The force due to friction is non-conservative.

  5. Newton–Euler equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    In classical mechanics, the Newton–Euler equations describe the combined translational and rotational dynamics of a rigid body. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]Traditionally the ...

  6. D'Alembert's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Alembert's_principle

    Jean d'Alembert (1717–1783). D'Alembert's principle, also known as the Lagrange–d'Alembert principle, is a statement of the fundamental classical laws of motion. It is named after its discoverer, the French physicist and mathematician Jean le Rond d'Alembert, and Italian-French mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange.

  7. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The static friction force will exactly oppose forces applied to an object parallel to a surface up to the limit specified by the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the normal force (). In other words, the magnitude of the static friction force satisfies the inequality: 0 ≤ F s f ≤ μ s f F N . {\displaystyle 0\leq \mathbf {F ...

  8. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    In real oscillators, friction, or damping, slows the motion of the system. Due to frictional force, the velocity decreases in proportion to the acting frictional force. While in a simple undriven harmonic oscillator the only force acting on the mass is the restoring force, in a damped harmonic oscillator there is in addition a frictional force ...

  9. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    Classical results for a true frictional contact problem concern the papers by F.W. Carter (1926) and H. Fromm (1927). They independently presented the creep versus creep force relation for a cylinder on a plane or for two cylinders in steady rolling contact using Coulomb’s dry friction law (see below). [5]
