Abstract: Contact stresses are one of the most important parameters in the analysis of a contact problem found for instance, in the design of gears and roller bearings. In this work the influence of ...

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: A global method for the solution of thermohydrodynamic problems is proposed for the analysis of lubricated contacts with non-newtonian fluids. A set of algebraic equations is obtained after ...

Abstract: Traction in lubricated elliptical Hertzian contacts with colinear speeds is studied. A method is described to calculate the stresses, temperatures and shear strain rates distribution along and ...

Abstract: This paper attempts to give a unified treatment of experiments obtained with solid, liquid and boundary lubricants, different plastics, high temperature steels and elastomers. The argument is ...

Abstract: A high performance disk machine capable of simulating both radii of curvature, rolling and sliding speeds of spur gears was built. The simulation program was conducted using both a gear rig ...

Abstract: A number of lubricants in the well known classes denoted by MIL-L-23699 and MIL-L-7808 specifications and a traction fluid are investigated for their traction behavior in rolling sliding contacts. ...

Abstract: This paper shows that both micropits and spalls occur near pure rolling conditions. The first are initiated at the surface and are related to asperity interaction. The second are well described ...
