Abstract: Boundary conditions were arbitrarily specified in an earlier two dimensional (2D) analysis of contact temperature. In this new work a general three dimensional (3D) Fourier transform solution is ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional model of axisymmetric moving solids submitted to nonaxisymmetric transient heat flux conditions is presented in this paper. Temperature fields are obtained using a new hybrid ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical method for the prediction of transient temperatures reached during realistic braking operations in a ventilated disk brake assembly is presented in this paper. This ...

Abstract: Hard coatings are more and more used to improve the mechanical and tribological behavior of surfaces. Thermomechanical cracking can occur in these coatings when they slide under heavy loads. ...

Abstract: Thermal simulation of complex mechanism performance is based on the simultaneous use of analytical methods for simple shaped moving parts and numerical techniques (Finite Element Method) of the ...

Abstract: Two dimensional Fourier transform methods developed by Ling to calculate contact temperatures were applied to the case of a dry bearing operating with a plastic liner. Results show that ...

Abstract: To study the thermoelastic behavior of coatings a two-dimensional model of a finite thickness layered medium submitted to a moving heat flux was presented in a previous paper (Leroy, Floquet, ...
