  2. Contact area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_area

    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 cylinders are crossed at 90 degrees, in which case they have a circular contact area.

  3. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    Contact force or pressure increases the size of the a-spot which decreases the constriction resistance and the electrical contact resistance. [11] When the size of contacting asperities becomes larger than the mean free path of electrons, Holm-type contacts become the dominant transport mechanism, resulting in a relatively low contact ...

  4. D-subminiature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature

    For example, DB-25 denotes a D-sub with a 25-position shell size and a 25-position contact configuration. The contacts in each row of these connectors are spaced 326/3000 of an inch apart, or approximately 0.1087 inches (2.76 mm), and the rows are spaced 0.112 inches (2.84 mm) apart; the pins in the two rows are offset by half the distance ...

  5. Contact patch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_patch

    Colorized tire footprint pressure distribution. The contact patch is the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface.It is commonly used in the discussion of pneumatic (i.e. pressurized) tires, where the term is used strictly to describe the portion of the tire's tread that touches the road surface.

  6. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Normal contact mechanics or frictionless contact mechanics focuses on normal stresses caused by applied normal forces and by the adhesion present on surfaces in close contact, even if they are clean and dry. Frictional contact mechanics emphasizes the effect of friction forces. Contact mechanics is part of mechanical engineering.

  7. Diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter

    In this context, a diameter is any chord which passes through the conic's centre. A diameter of an ellipse is any line passing through the centre of the ellipse. [7] Half of any such diameter may be called a semidiameter, although this term is most often a synonym for the radius of a circle or sphere. [8] The longest diameter is called the ...

  9. Diameter (protocol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_(protocol)

    A Diameter Application is not a software application but is a protocol based on the Diameter base protocol defined in RFC 6733 (obsoletes RFC 3588) and RFC 7075. Each application is defined by an application identifier and can add new command codes and/or new mandatory AVPs ( Attribute-Value Pair ).
