  3. 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 ...

  4. Thermal contact conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance

    A temperature drop is observed at the interface between the two surfaces in contact. This phenomenon is said to be a result of a thermal contact resistance existing between the contacting surfaces. Thermal contact resistance is defined as the ratio between this temperature drop and the average heat flow across the interface. [1]

  5. 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]

  6. 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:

  7. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.

  8. 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.

  9. Bearing surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_surface

    The bearing surface describes the contact area between two objects used as datum. It is often the underside of a screw head (male seat, marked A) or a flat at the end of the screw thread (female seat, marked B). A bearing surface in mechanical engineering is the area of contact between two objects.
