Pressure in a Contact Area Between Two Spheres

Posted by Dinesh on

Online geometry contact mechanics calculator to calculate pressure in a contact area between two spheres.

Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points.

Formula:

p r = p 0 1 - r 2 a 2

where,
pr = Pressure in the Contact Area
p0 = The maximum contact pressure
r = Distance from the center of the circle
a = The radius of the circle contact area
