Talk:Frictional contact mechanics

It is requested that a mechanical diagram or diagrams illustrating {{{1}}} be included in this article to improve its quality. Specific illustrations, plots, or diagrams can be requested at the Graphic Lab.
For more information, refer to discussion on this page and/or the listing at Wikipedia:Requested images.

Untitled

The page needs further extension. Several ideas are as follows:

add pictures that illustrate the main ideas, particularly: the stick and slip areas, the traction distribution for shifting (Cattaneo) and steady rolling (Carter) solutions.
add different contact problems: e.g. transmission belt on a pulley.
add information on contact problems with lubrication.
add information on micro-scale problems. For instance: the detailed structure of a surface layer of a railway wheel: bulk material, smaller grains near the surface, oxide layer, contaminants layer, asperities.

Remove from WikiProject Neuroscience

I believe article "Frictional contact mechanics" should not be in the scope of WikiProject Neuroscience. I propose to remove it from that scope. Ion Soggo (talk) 18:39, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that, and have removed it. If I'm missing something, please feel free to revert. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:29, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Tryptofish. Similarly, I am removing this article from the scope of WikiProject Physiology.
