A contact force is any force that occurs as a result of two objects making contact with each other. Contact forces are very common and are responsible...

A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most familiar non-contact force is gravity, which...

modulus of elasticity of the material in contact. It gives the contact stress as a function of the normal contact force, the radii of curvature of both bodies...

normally open contacts. The contacts are open when the energizing force (magnet or relay solenoid) is not present. When the energizing force is present,...

the ground, keeping the object from going into free fall. The upward contact force from the ground ensures that an object at rest on the Earth's surface...

mechanics include elastic, frictional, contact or "normal" forces, and gravitational. The rotational version of force is torque, which produces changes in...

the normal force F n {\displaystyle F_{n}} is the component of a contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts. In this instance...

easier calculations. (A d'Alembert force is not to be confused with a contact force arising from the physical interaction between two objects, which is...

of a robot acts on an object or its environment. By controlling the contact force, damage to the machine as well as to the objects to be processed and...

a force field is a vector field corresponding with a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space. Specifically, a force field...

however, is often not feasible. In non-contact atomic force microscopy mode, the tip of the cantilever does not contact the sample surface. The cantilever...

great force. In contact sports (e.g. basketball), athletes routinely make contact with each other or with inanimate objects but usually with less force than...

the frictional force. In sliding friction, when asperities contact and there is charge transfer, some of the charge returns as the contacts are released...

The contact angle (symbol θC) is the angle between a liquid surface and a solid surface where they meet. More specifically, it is the angle between the...

moving contact is propelled by the moving core; the force developed by the electromagnet holds the moving and fixed contacts together. When the contactor coil...

with contact forces or surface forces which are exerted to the surface of an object. Fictitious forces such as the centrifugal force, Euler force, and...

decay could be explained by a four-fermion interaction, involving a contact force with no range. In the mid-1950s, Chen-Ning Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee first...

A contact manager is a software program that enables users to easily store and find contact information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers...

force (GRF) is the force exerted by the ground on a body in contact with it. For example, a person standing motionless on the ground exerts a contact...

Non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), also known as dynamic force microscopy (DFM), is a mode of atomic force microscopy, which itself is a type...

kind is based on smooth contact dynamics, including methods using Hertz's models, penalty methods, and some regularization force models, while the second...

The contact patch is the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface. It is commonly used in the discussion of pneumatic...

Electrical contact resistance (ECR, or simply contact resistance) is resistance to the flow of electric current caused by incomplete contact of the surfaces...

hence its trajectory, as a consequence of contact (collision) with a surface or the influence of a non-contact force field. Examples of the former include...

are types of surface force. All cohesive forces and contact forces between objects are considered as surface forces. Surface force can be decomposed into...

a surface depends on the frictional interaction at the contact interface. Here the total force versus indentation and lateral displacement are of main...
