force of sliding friction
31static friction — noun : the force between two bodies in contact that resists the initiation of sliding motion of one over the other : the force required to cause one of the bodies to begin to move when they are at rest called also starting friction …
32Contact area — When two objects touch, a certain portion of their surface areas will be in contact with each other. Contact area is the fraction of this area that consists of the atoms of one object in contact with the atoms of the other object. Because objects …
33Coulomb damping — is a type of constant mechanical damping in which energy is absorbed via sliding friction. The friction generated by the relative motion of the two surfaces that press against each other is a source of energy dissipation. In general, damping is… …
