This chapter explains rolling motion applied to solid contact with its adhesion component and how deformation and torque gets generated. Elaborate details on theoretical considerations of circular motion is given in this chapter to provide the required stimuli for a better understanding of the rolling contact. An account of dynamics of uniform and nonuniform motion are also explained.
Rolling friction is primarily caused by the interference of small indentations formed as one surface rolls over another. This is ideally seen with wheels, cylinders, and spheres.
In the case of the wheel of a rail braking, we must first look at the forces acting on the wheel. In pure rolling motion friction is required to start, stop, and change the motion of a wheel. Given below is the frictional force necessary to begin motion, and get the wheel moving at a velocity ‘v’.
