This paper gives a review of mathematical results of existence and uniqueness of solutions to problems of linear elasticity involving friction. Static, steady sliding and quasi-static problems are ...

I learned to respect friction, as a phenomenon with many nuances, when I was a graduate student. One day, while teaching a problem session in elementary mechanics, I unwisely invented a new problem to ...

"Join me as we solve the inclined half-Atwood problem with friction! In this video, we’ll break down the forces acting on the system, including friction, gravity, and tension, and use Newton’s Second ...

In November 2008, the space shuttle Endeavor visited the International Space Station to do some important repair work. A critical part of the mission was to service the station’s two rotary joints, ...
