| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the nature of a plate of metal on an inclined plane when dilated and contracted; and upon the descent of glaciers' Henry Moseley |
| Date | 1861 |
| Description | Moseley discusses the case in which the upper edge of a rectangular metal plate is fixed on an inclined plane, and then that in which the lower edge is fixed. Each of these cases is considered subject to the condition of friction; first, when the plate is dilated, and secondly, when it is contracted. Two other principal conditions arise in the discussion; one being that in which one part of the plate dilates and contracts, and the other that in which the whole of the plate dilates and contracts.
