Abstract: Slip inception mechanism is very important for modeling of static friction and understanding of some experimental observations of friction. In this work, slip inception was treated as a local competence of interfacial ...

Abstract: Adhesion plays a significant role in the friction and wear in the case where the contact surfaces are continuous and smooth such that roughnessbased factors are negligible. Therefore, imposing an external load to overcome ...

Abstract: Greenwood and Tripp (GT model) have proposed that the contact analysis of two rough surfaces (two-rough-surface contact model) could be considered as an equivalent rough surface in contact with a rigid flat (single-rough-surface ...

Abstract: For real engineering surfaces contact, most asperities come into contact in a configuration of shouldertoshoulder instead of aligned headon. In this work, a threedimensional (3D) model of two identical elastic–plastic ...

Abstract: In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) finite-element (FE) contact model of a 6 + 1 wire rope strand bent over a simplified traction sheave is developed to investigate the traction behavior at the interface. The stress ...

Abstract: In this paper, an exclusive testing rig was built to experimentally investigate the friction and slip at elevator traction interface under different traction conditions. The experimental results indicated that slipping ...

Abstract: The models of normal and tangential oil film damping are established by modeling the viscous-elastic fluid as massless damping elements. The central pressure and film thickness distributions, friction coefficient, and ...

Abstract: By incorporating modified Langmuir kinetic model, a novel slowly timevarying dynamical model of in situ micromechanical sensors is proposed to realtime monitor atomic or molecular adsorptions on the solid surface in a ...
