"' Stiction "'is the static friction that needs to be overcome to enable relative motion of stationary objects in contact.
32.
:If we guess that this ledgend has a basis in reality, it may be observation of this difference between kinetic and static friction.
33.
These CVTs can transfer substantial torque, because their static friction actually increases relative to torque throughput, so slippage is impossible in properly designed systems.
34.
Now let s say that the piston was not able to move smoothly within the cylinder due to static friction with the walls of the cylinder.
35.
Repulsive Casimir forces could allow quantum levitation of objects in a fluid and lead to a new class of switchable nanoscale devices with ultra-low static friction
36.
The maximum draught that can be achieved via rollers of radius R with coefficient of static friction f between the roller and the metal surface is given by
37.
Although this later method still has the viscous friction of the fluid this is linear and has no threshold and has the advantage of having minimal static friction.
38.
The pressures of such devices are not very high as it only needs to build enough to overcome the static friction of the projectile jammed in the barrel.
39.
The wedge is kicked into position and the downward force of the door, now jammed upwards onto the doorstop, provides enough static friction to keep it motionless.
40.
The static friction increases or decreases in response to the applied force up to an upper limit determined by the characteristics of the contact between the surface and the object.
