  2. Contact area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_area

    Contact area may depend on the normal force between the two objects due to deformation. [1] The contact area depends on the geometry of the contacting bodies, the load, and the material properties. The contact area between the two parallel cylinders is a narrow rectangle. Two, non-parallel cylinders have an elliptical contact area, unless the ...

    In contact between two cylinders ... is needed which can be calculated from surface measurements. ... is the total surface energy of both surfaces per unit area, ...

  4. Thermal contact conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance

    Since the contact pressure is the most important factor, most studies, correlations and mathematical models for measurement of contact conductance are done as a function of this factor. The thermal contact resistance of certain sandwich kinds of materials that are manufactured by rolling under high temperatures may sometimes be ignored because ...

  5. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    The axes of the cylinders are along the z-axis, and two external forces apply to the male cylinder: a force along the y-axis, the load; the action of the bore (contact pressure). The main concern is the contact pressure with the bore, which is uniformly distributed along the z-axis. Notation:

  6. Normal contact stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_contact_stiffness

    Normal contact stiffness is a physical quantity related to the generalized force displacement behavior of rough surfaces in contact with a rigid body or a second similar rough surface. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Specifically it is the amount of force per unit displacement required to compress an elastic object in the contact region.

  7. 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]

  9. Derjaguin approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derjaguin_approximation

    Derjaguin approximation related the force between two spheres (top) and the interaction energy between two plates (bottom). The Derjaguin approximation (or sometimes also referred to as the proximity approximation), named after the Russian scientist Boris Derjaguin, expresses the force profile acting between finite size bodies in terms of the force profile between two planar semi-infinite ...
