Name of contribution: pst-pad Author's name: Patrick Drechsler Location on CTAN: /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-pad Summary description: A PSTricks package to draw simple attachment systems License type: lppl

Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package pst-pad is a collection of graphical elements based on PStricks that can be used to facilitate display of attachment systems such as two differently shaped surfaces with or without a fluid wedged in between. These macros ease the display of wet adhesion models and common friction systems such as boundary lubrication, elastohydrodynamic lubrication and hydrodynamic lubrication. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
