    Status: Open => Answered

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Only relative motion can change the magnitude of forces, yes.
However, a rotation of the contact pair leads to a rotation of the force (not a translation) in the global frame, hence the (delta_Ut)1 + (delta_Ut)2 (rotation decomposed in axial and ortho-axial parts).
