I'm trying to calculate the friction torque between to flat surfaces rotating against one another, and can't find any examples of this particular problem for guidance--only for rotating cylinders.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Friction is a force that exists when two surfaces rub up against each other. For example, this cup on ...

Nanomachines will depend on our knowledge of friction, heat transfer and energy dissipation at the atomic level for their very survival. In the scramble to revolutionize the world with nanotechnology ...

Fig. 3: These conveyor belt rollers experience rolling contact fatigue during operation. Including plastic components in machinery systems that experience friction and wear results in a number of ...

The field of economics has long modelled itself after Newtonian physics. When physicists analyse a complex problem, they usually begin with the simplest version and neglect any complicating effects, ...
