linear contact

Further, to assume, on the one hand, that the planes can only be put in linear contact would be ridiculous.

Doctors believed for years that linear contact was the cause of most concussions, the direct hit to the head slamming the brain back and forth against the skull producing the damage.

When the pin is inserted into this sleeve, the wires stretch around it, providing a number of linear contact paths, therefore extending the contact area around the pin to 360 degrees.

In the mostly used parallel lay strands, the lay length of all the wire layers is equal and the wires of any two superimposed layers are parallel, resulting in linear contact.
