  2. Sliding (motion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_(motion)

    Typical values for the coefficient of rolling friction are less than that of sliding friction. [2] Correspondingly sliding friction typically produces greater sound and thermal bi-products. One of the most common examples of sliding friction is the movement of braking motor vehicle tires on a roadway, a process which generates considerable heat ...

  3. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. For example, static friction can prevent an object from sliding down a sloped surface. The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as μ s, is usually higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Static friction is considered ...

  4. Contact dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_dynamics

    A more sophisticated approach is the non-smooth approach, which uses set-valued force laws to model mechanical systems with unilateral contacts and friction. Consider again the block which slides or sticks on the table. The associated set-valued friction law of type Sgn is depicted in figure 3. Regarding the sliding case, the friction force is ...

    Friction – Force resisting sliding motion; Friction drive – Mechanical power transmission by friction between components; Lubrication – The presence of a material to reduce friction between two surfaces. Metallurgy – Field of science that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metals

  6. Coulomb damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_damping

    Coulomb damping dissipates energy constantly because of sliding friction. The magnitude of sliding friction is a constant value; independent of surface area, displacement or position, and velocity. The system undergoing Coulomb damping is periodic or oscillating and restrained by the sliding friction.

  7. Stick–slip phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick–slip_phenomenon

    The load then starts sliding, and the friction coefficient decreases to the value corresponding to load times the dynamic friction. Since this frictional force will be lower than the static value, the load accelerates until the decompressing spring can no longer generate enough force to overcome dynamic friction, and the load stops moving.

  9. Plain bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_bearing

    The simplest example of a plain bearing is a shaft rotating in a hole. A simple linear bearing can be a pair of flat surfaces designed to allow motion; e.g., a drawer and the slides it rests on [3] or the ways on the bed of a lathe. Plain bearings, in general, are the least expensive type of bearing.
