Abstract: This paper presents an efficient numerical method based on quadratic programming, which may be used to analyze fretting contacts in the presence of wear. The approach provides an alternative ...

Abstract: This paper pursues a numerical approach to the solution of the contact problem of a rigid punch on an incompressible half-plane, subjected to a shearing force together with a normal force ...

Abstract: Robust M-estimation is very useful in the geometric deformation analysis of geodetic control networks, especially in the analysis of single-point displacements in these networks. In fact, a robust M-estimation allows one ...

Abstract: Line contact between two elastic cylinders, one having a rough surface modelled as a periodic waviness is considered. The effects of asperity tip radius and characteristic wavelength on the ...

Abstract: Real fretting fatigue cycles often involve complex loading where the fretting force may vary with a different phase or frequency to the other loads on the components. Analysis of the contact ...

Abstract: Solutions are found for the state of stress obtaining along the interface between two bonded quarter planes, induced by an edge dislocation located at an arbitrary point on the interface. ...

Abstract: Simple, concise formulas are given for the components of stress induced by a general elliptical Hertzian contact in terms of elementary functions. Explicit, readily evaluated formulas are given.

Abstract: The simple scaling of a tidal bottom boundary layer by the shear velocity, u*, and the wall to the wall describes well the mean Bow field. To test the full extent of this scaling measurements were made of the turbulence ...
