Abstract: A computational approach employing the boundary element method (BEM) and a deep artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to accurately predict the real contact area (RCA) for rough surfaces. A BEM-generated dataset is ...

Abstract: Engineered surfaces (ground and similarly structured rough surfaces) show anisotropic characteristics and their topography parameters are direction dependent. Statistical characterization of these surfaces is still complex ...

Abstract: Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is one of the major problems observed in gear mechanisms, which leads to high friction, ultimately resulting in high energy consumption. This paper demonstrates the evolution of surface ...
