static friction
31Force — For other uses, see Force (disambiguation). See also: Forcing (disambiguation) Forces are also described as a push or pull on an object. They can be due to phenomena such as gravity, magnetism, or anything that might cause a mass to accelerate …
32Collision response — In the context of classical mechanics simulations and physics engines employed within video games, collision response deals with models and algorithms for simulating the changes in the motion of two solid bodies following collision and other… …
33Tribometer — A tribometer is an instrument that measures friction on a surface via a multitude of methods, one of which is a ball sliding on the reference surface and giving a relative friction value (called ball on disc). [cite web… …
34Continuously variable transmission — Transmission types Manual Sequential manual Non synchronous Preselector Automatic Manumatic Semi automatic Electrohydraulic Dual …
35Coulomb 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… …
36Stick-slip phenomenon — Stick slip (or slip stick ) refers to the phenomenon of a spontaneous jerking motion that can occur while two objects are sliding over each other. Cause Stick slip is caused by the surfaces alternatingly between a sticking to each other and… …
37Angle of repose — For the Wallace Stegner novel, see Angle of Repose (novel). For the friction angle between two solid objects, see Friction. For the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum song of the same name, see In Glorious Times. Angle of repose The angle of repose or,… …
38Banked turn — A banked turn is the term used to describe a car riding along a circle with inclined edges. The angle at which a turn is banked refers to the angle of incline of the given path. The benefit of such a structure is that there are forces other than… …
39Jewel bearing — A jewel bearing is a bearing in which a metal spindle turns in a jewel lined pivot hole. The hole is typically shaped like a torus and is slightly larger than the shaft diameter. In operation, the shaft tilts slightly so as to contact the jewel… …
40Stiction — is an informal portmanteau of the term static friction ( μ s), perhaps also influenced by the verb stick .Two solid objects pressing against each other (but not sliding) will require some threshold of force parallel to the surface of contact in… …
