Contact Mechanics and Friction — Hertzian contact, adhesion, dry and lubricated friction, and tribology of sliding surfaces. This topic sits under physics/classical-physics/classical-mechanics in the science tree and is included here for structural completeness.
Detailed frontier-paper sourcing for this page is deferred to a follow-up OpenAlex wave (sourcing_deferred: true). The current placeholder lets adjacent topics link to it correctly and reserves the slug; primary references will be attached when the next sourcing pass runs over physics/classical-physics/classical-mechanics.
