Abstract: Bond graph models for the audio range response of a dynamically continuous, linear motion magnetostrictive actuator are formulated and presented. The actuator involves a continuous rod of ...

Abstract: A method is developed for obtaining fundamental thermal and thermoelastic solutions for thermal distributions moving over the surface of an elastic half space. This method uses the concept of ...

Abstract: Studies have shown that micro-vibrations (10–100 μm amplitude, 10 to 100 Hz) of a slider can reduce sliding wear 50 percent, especially rigid body rocking motions that continuously realign the ...

Abstract: Frictional heating of a thermal mound (or hot spot) present on the interface between a carbon graphite block sliding against a fast moving conductor is simulated. Heating of this mound due ...

Abstract: Surface and subsurface stresses and displacements are obtained when two geometrically and elastically identical rough bodies are pressed together by normal and tangential loads. The theories of ...

Abstract: Wear rates (μgm/s) versus rotor speed for carbon samples sliding against smooth and wavy copper rotors (250 μm thick copper sheets were attached to smooth and wavy steel and polycarbonate ...

Abstract: The interaction of a Hertzian contact, including friction, with an angled surface-breaking crack is studied with a view toward qualitatively explaining certain aspects of rolling contact fatigue. ...
