  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

  3. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    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

  4. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points. [1] [2] A central distinction in contact mechanics is between stresses acting perpendicular to the contacting bodies' surfaces (known as normal stress) and frictional stresses acting tangentially between the surfaces (shear stress).

  5. Stiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiction

    The moving part then decelerates to a stop from the dynamic contact friction. The cycle repeats as the forcing element catches up to contact again. Stick, store spring energy, impulsively release spring energy, accelerate, decelerate, stop, stick. Repeat. Stiction is a problem for the design and materials science of many moving linkages.

  6. Friction welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_welding

    Friction welding (FWR) is a solid-state welding and bonding process that generates heat through mechanical friction between workpieces in relative motion to one another. The process is used with the addition of a lateral force called "upset" to plastically displace and fuse the materials. [1]

  7. Abrasion (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasion_(geology)

    Abrasion is the natural scratching of bedrock by a continuous movement of snow or glacier downhill. This is caused by a force, friction, vibration, or internal deformation of the ice, and by sliding over the rocks and sediments at the base (that also causes an avalanche) that causes the glacier to move.

  8. AsapScience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AsapScience

    AsapScience, stylized as AsapSCIENCE, is a YouTube channel created by Canadian YouTubers Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown. The channel produces a range of videos that touch on various concepts related to science and technology. [1] AsapScience is one of the largest educational channels on YouTube.
