Abstract: The Cattaneo–Mindlin concept of interfacial slip in tangentially loaded compliant bodies is revisited and its basic simplifying assumptions are critically examined. It is shown that these assumptions, ...

Abstract: The author is to be commended for his attempt to cope analytically with the complex problem of friction. A few comments regarding the present paper are in place. The present simplified friction ...

Abstract: The authors presented a model for sliding inception that is essentially based on the 1949 Mindlin approach (see Ref. 1) for frictional contact with extension to elastic-plastic normal loading. ...

Abstract: A flat seal having an angular misalignment is analyzed, taking into account the radial variations in seal clearance. An analytical solution for axial force, tilting moment, and leakage is ...

Abstract: Surface texturing has emerged in the last decade as a viable option of surface engineering resulting in significant improvement in load capacity, wear resistance, friction coefficient etc. of ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis, for an elastic perfectly plastic sphere normally loaded by a rigid flat, is combined with an approximate analytical solution to evaluate the maximum tangential load ...

Abstract: A model that predicts the static friction for elastic-plastic contact of rough surfaces is presented. The model incorporates the results of accurate finite element analyses for the elastic-plastic ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic effects are analyzed for a stepped piston moving within a tight clearance tube filled with an incompressible fluid. Together with the hydrostatic effects that were analyzed in an ...

Abstract: A model for calculating the static friction coefficient of contacting real (rough) surfaces in the presence of very thin liquid films (sub-boundary lubrication) is developed. The liquid has a ...
