Abstract: In tribological applications, calculating the contact temperature between contacting surfaces makes it possible to estimate lubricant failure and effectiveness, material failure, and other phenomena. ...

Abstract: An important mechanism reducing the lifetime of the deepdrawing tools is material transfer from the workpiece to the tool, resulting in the buildup of lumps on the tool surface. In this study, ...

Abstract: In this study, the lump growth model, described in an accompanying paper (de Rooij and Schipper, 2000) is validated by means of experiments performed on a deepdrawing simulator. In the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a theoretical and experimental investigation is presented to study the contact behavior of the plastic contact of deterministic rough surfaces. Analyses exclude bulk deformation ...
