Area of Contact given Frictional Force evaluator uses Real Area of Contact = Force of Friction/((Proportion of Area of Metallic Contact*Shear Strength of Softer Metal)+((1-Proportion of Area of Metallic Contact)*Shear Strength of Softer Lubricant Layer)) to evaluate the Real Area of Contact, The Area of Contact given Frictional Force is defined as the real area that is in the actual contact between the two surfaces. Real Area of Contact is denoted by Ac symbol.
How to evaluate Area of Contact given Frictional Force using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Area of Contact given Frictional Force, enter Force of Friction (Ff), Proportion of Area of Metallic Contact (γm), Shear Strength of Softer Metal (τ1) & Shear Strength of Softer Lubricant Layer (τ2) and hit the calculate button.
