Abstract: The Hertz analysis of contact stresses is extended to include the effects of friction on the interface between two elastic spheres compressed along the line connecting their centers. The problem ...

Abstract: When a sphere is held between parallel flat surfaces by means of a constant clamping pressure and is then subjected to a cyclic tangential displacement parallel to the flats, energy is ...

Abstract: Equations are obtained for the complete stress field due to a circular contact region carrying a “hemispherical” Hertzian normal pressure and a proportional distributed shearing traction. The ...

Abstract: The general problem of the two-dimensional state of stress in a strip of elastic material under normal loading is considered. A series expansion of displacement functions generated along lines ...
