Abstract: A numerical model designed to simulate a moving line contact of two rough layered bodies is presented. Fourier transforms are used to obtain fundamental solutions to relevant differential equations ...

Abstract: The paper employs a rough-surface numerical elastic contact method designed to analyze Hertzian elastic contact effects of surface coatings. In particular the paper explores the differences in ...

Abstract: In this study, we develop a model for buckling of a partially delaminated composite plate with transverse stitching to resist out of plane deformations. The model applies to carbon fiber/polyimide ...

Abstract: Forecasting cash requirements is essential for all contractors during the tendering stage since cash flow at the beginning of the project is a major cause of construction companies’ failure. Unfortunately, estimating minimum ...
