Abstract: Adhesive contact of a rigid sphere with a layered medium consisting of a stiff elastic layer perfectly bonded to an elasticplastic substrate is examined in the context of finite element simulations. Surface adhesion is ...

Abstract: The effect of adhesion on the elasticplastic deformation of sliding contacts was examined with the finite element method. The adhesive interaction of a rigid asperity moving over a homogeneous elasticplastic halfspace was ...
