Sentence examples for gliding friction from inspiring English sources
These strokes include kneading, gliding, friction, vibration and tapping.
The kinematics were examined by analyzing video and work rates estimated from the combined contribution of work against gravity, gliding friction, and air resistance.
The 13 specific techniques were: application of cold; application of heat; compression; cross-fiber friction; friction or direct pressure; gliding (effluerage) – Swedish; gliding – deep (deep effluerage, longitudinal friction, stripping) – clinical massage; holding; kneading (petrissage); percussion (tapotement); skin rolling; stretching – manual; traction.
In the past, teams have suggested a variety of reasons for unusually long runouts, including having the material floating on a cushion of air (à la an air hockey puck) or gliding atop a friction-reducing layer of water or ice.
This "articular cartilage" acts as a shock absorber, minimizing peak pressures on the subchondral bone, and provides a smooth, low-friction gliding surface for efficient joint movement [ 6].
He imagines the viscous feel of lotion warm from the sun, gliding over her skin — friction.
Two thin layers of water-resistant breathable plastic (with no gel) backed by adhesive deflect friction by gliding against each other.
In 1959 two American geologists, Marion King Hubbertand William W. Rubey, demonstrated that fluids in the pores of rock may reduce internal friction and permit gliding over nearly horizontal planes of the large overthrust blocks associated with folded mountains.
In the case of bone, these properties are a balance of stiffness and tensile strength, while in the case of cartilage, reversible compressibility results in cushioning and low coefficient of friction results in gliding motion.
When normal, the surfaces glide smoothly on each other with a coefficient of friction better than ice gliding on ice.
The results show the poor correlation between the coefficient of dynamic friction and the perceived gliding quality of a surface.
