Abstract: The apparent contact area of curved rough surfaces can be larger than that predicted by the Hertz theory due to asperity interaction outside the Hertzian region. In the present study, simple ...

Abstract: The concept of a fractal-regular surface, with a dual-section power spectrum, has been implemented in an elastic-plastic contact analysis. Under certain assumptions, the analysis of individual ...

Abstract: A five-degree-of-freedom model was developed for the analysis of the off-track motion of the magnetic head slider in a hard disk drive. The air bearing was integrated into the dynamic system ...

Abstract: A fractal dimension and a fractal roughness parameter are usually used to characterize a fractal surface. For a fractal-regular surface, a fractal domain length is also included. Such a formulation ...

Abstract: A thermal Reynolds-Eyring equation is derived for elastohydrodynamic lubrication of line contacts. A control volume approach is used to analyze the inlet region where back-flow occurs. Numerical ...

Abstract: A computationally simple formulation for the stationary surface temperature is developed to examine the thermal non-Newtonian EHD problem for line contacts under simple sliding conditions. Numerical ...
