Abstract: This work presents an analytical investigation of a plastic mass being compressed between the ends of two elastic circular cylinders. A special function recently tabulated by the author is used ...

Abstract: This paper presents procedures for introducing plasticity and creep into finite element programs. The plasticity method described is intended for the designer who is interested in the stress ...

Abstract: A method is presented whereby the pressures, which are generated at the contact surfaces of two axisymmetrical components assembled together with an interference fit, can be determined. The ...

Abstract: The principle of superposition is used to combine the results of separate stiffness analyses of (a) a solid shaft loaded by a band of external pressure, using classical elasticity methods and ...

Abstract: Microslip between concentrated contacts is discussed and design charts are presented for microslips, maximum pressure, closing-in of the contacting bodies, and optimized shapes for minimum microslips. ...
