  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, ... is sometimes referred to as limiting friction, [48] ...

  3. Adhesion railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_railway

    The former is concerned with static friction (also known as "stiction" [3]) or "limiting friction", whilst the latter is dynamic friction, also called "sliding friction". For steel on steel, the coefficient of friction can be as high as 0.78, under laboratory conditions, but typically on railways it is between 0.35 and 0.5, [ 4 ] whilst under ...

  4. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

    This is a completely separate design from the most common beveled spider gear designs seen in most automotive applications. As torque is applied to the gears, they are pushed against the walls of the differential housing, creating friction. The friction resists the relative movement of the outputs and creates the limiting torque Trq d .

  5. Understeer and oversteer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer_and_oversteer

    They have different handling implications and different causes. The former is concerned with tire distortion effects due to slip and camber angles as increasing levels of lateral acceleration are attained. The latter is concerned with the limiting friction case in which either the front or rear wheels become saturated first.

  6. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    This theory is exact for the situation of an infinite friction coefficient in which case the slip area vanishes, and is approximative for non-vanishing creepages. It does assume Coulomb's friction law, which more or less requires (scrupulously) clean surfaces. This theory is for massive bodies such as the railway wheel-rail contact.

  7. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    The internal angle between the surface of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle of repose forms flatter piles than material with a high angle of repose.

    An added bonus is the elastic opening, which cuts down friction taking your shoes on and off. We've been a fan of Florsheim for a while because of its knack for combining comfort and style. We can ...

  9. Continuous track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_track

    In comparison to steel tracks, rubber tracks are lighter, waste less power on internal friction, make less noise and do not damage paved roads. However, they impose more ground pressure below the wheels, as they are not able to equalize pressure as well as the stiff mechanism of track plates, especially the spring loaded live tracks. Another ...
