Contact Stress Two Sphere's in Contact Equation Equations

The following equation will determine the contact stress between two balls or spheres of known radius, young's modulus and applied load.

Where:
E₁, E₂, = Young’s modulus
F = load
r₁, r₂ =radii
v₁, v₂ = Poisson’s ratio

Contact stresses two sphere's in contact different young's modulus and spherical radius.
