Contact Kinematics

Contact Kinematics is a theoretical framework that characterizes the geometric and temporal evolution of contact configurations between rigid or deformable bodies in relative motion, distinguished from related dynamics-based approaches by its exclusive focus on motion constraints and compatibility conditions without consideration of forces or inertial effects.
