WHAT DOES STICTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stiction

Stiction is the static friction that needs to be overcome to enable relative motion of stationary objects in contact. The term is a portmanteau of the term "static friction", perhaps also influenced by the verb "stick". Any solid objects pressing against each other will require some threshold of force parallel to the surface of contact in order to overcome static cohesion. Stiction is a threshold, not a continuous force. In situations where two surfaces with areas below the micrometer range come into close proximity, they may adhere together. At this scale, electrostatic and/or Van der Waals and hydrogen bonding forces become significant. The phenomenon of two such surfaces being adhered together in this manner is also called stiction. Stiction may be related to hydrogen bonding or residual contamination.

Definition of stiction in the English dictionary

The definition of stiction in the dictionary is the frictional force to be overcome to set one object in motion when it is in contact with another.
