Abstract: This paper presents a numerical two-dimensional model to study a rough thermal elastohydrodyanmic lubrication sliding contact locally and to calculate the stresses in multilayered solids. The model ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effects of multiple cracks situated in the contact zone vicinity of an elastic isotropic component, modeled as a half-plane. Friction between the crack faces is taken ...

Abstract: A simple model of static elastic contact of asperities is proposed. An integral formulation of the Plane Theory of Elasticity is used to include asperity interaction. Significant modifications ...

Abstract: The variation of contact stress distribution of a rectangular slab loaded against a flat during a tangential load cycle is monitored using photoelastic techniques. Results show that different ...

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: A finite element model has been developed to predict crack initiation and propagation in a notched disk submitted to rolling contact fatigue. The aim of this study is to validate the model ...

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, ...

Abstract: A semianalytical model of multiple fatigue crack analysis in sliding contact is developed. Linear elastic fracture mechanics is applied. Frictional resistance between crack faces is taken into ...

Abstract: Narrow and wide contacts are simulated in this study by considering, respectively, a flat and a sector loaded against a circular disk. In turn, an artificial intermediate film simulates the ...
