  2. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Contact between two spheres Contact between two crossed cylinders of equal radius For contact between two spheres of radii R 1 {\displaystyle R_{1}} and R 2 {\displaystyle R_{2}} , the area of contact is a circle of radius a {\displaystyle a} .

  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

    Since the contact pressure is the most important factor, most studies, correlations and mathematical models for measurement of contact conductance are done as a function of this factor. The thermal contact resistance of certain sandwich kinds of materials that are manufactured by rolling under high temperatures may sometimes be ignored because ...

  5. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  6. Unit of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_measurement

    A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity. [1] Any other quantity of that kind can be expressed as a multiple of the unit of measurement. [2] For example, a length is a physical quantity.

  7. Contact angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_angle

    The overall effect can be seen as closely analogous to static friction, i.e., a minimal amount of work per unit distance is required to move the contact line. [6] The advancing contact angle can be described as a measure of the liquid-solid cohesion while the receding contact angle is a measure of liquid-solid adhesion.

  8. Derjaguin approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derjaguin_approximation

    Derjaguin approximation related the force between two spheres (top) and the interaction energy between two plates (bottom). The Derjaguin approximation (or sometimes also referred to as the proximity approximation), named after the Russian scientist Boris Derjaguin, expresses the force profile acting between finite size bodies in terms of the force profile between two planar semi-infinite ...

  9. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Roundness = ⁠ Perimeter 2 / 4 π × Area ⁠. This ratio will be 1 for a circle and greater than 1 for non-circular shapes. Another definition is the inverse of that: Roundness = ⁠ 4 π × Area / Perimeter 2 ⁠, which is 1 for a perfect circle and goes down as far as 0 for highly non-circular shapes.
