  2. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The classical theory of contact focused primarily on non-adhesive contact where no tension force is allowed to occur within the contact area, i.e., contacting bodies can be separated without adhesion forces. Several analytical and numerical approaches have been used to solve contact problems that satisfy the no-adhesion condition.

  3. Contact dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_dynamics

    Consider a block which can slide or stick on a table (see figure 1a). The motion of the block is described by the equation of motion, whereas the friction force is unknown (see figure 1b). In order to obtain the friction force, a separate force law must be specified which links the friction force to the associated velocity of the block.

  4. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    Contact forces are often decomposed into orthogonal components, one perpendicular to the surface(s) in contact called the normal force, and one parallel to the surface(s) in contact, called the friction force. [1] Not all forces are contact forces; for example, the weight of an object is the force between the object and the Earth, even though ...

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS.It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

    Each element is then analyzed individually to develop member stiffness equations. The forces and displacements are related through the element stiffness matrix which depends on the geometry and properties of the element. A truss element can only transmit forces in compression or tension.

  7. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    The database provider must use recognized data analysis procedures to resolve differences between data obtained by different types of experiments. All thermodynamic data is a non-linear function of temperature (and pressure), but there is no universal equation format for expressing the various functions.

  8. Modal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_analysis

    Modern day experimental modal analysis systems are composed of 1) sensors such as transducers (typically accelerometers, load cells), or non contact via a Laser vibrometer, or stereophotogrammetric cameras 2) data acquisition system and an analog-to-digital converter front end (to digitize analog instrumentation signals) and 3) host PC ...

  9. Non-contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-contact_force

    In contrast, a contact force is a force which acts on an object coming physically in contact with it. [1] All four known fundamental interactions are non-contact forces: [2] Gravity, the force of attraction that exists among all bodies that have mass. The force exerted on each body by the other through weight is proportional to the mass of the ...
