Abstract: An analytical frequency domain solution is obtained using the spatial Fourier transform for thermal and thermoelastic fields due to an arbitrary heat source or thermal distribution moving at ...

Abstract: The contact problem for an elastic body indenting a similar half-space resulting in multiple contacts is important for various applications. In this paper an exact fast numerical method based ...

Abstract: A fast numerical method based on the Cauchy singular integral equations is presented to determine the contact pressure and extents for the contact of two-dimensional similar isotropic bodies ...

Abstract: The effect of three-dimensional defects such as voids and inclusions on the sliding contact subsurface stress distribution and fatigue limit is investigated. Three-dimensional finite-infinite boundary ...

Abstract: Contact problems can be converted into the spatial frequency domain using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) techniques. Spectral analysis is used to develop an algebraic relationship between the surface ...

Abstract: Clamped contacts subjected to vibratory loading undergo cyclic relative tangential motion or micro-slip near the edges of contact. This cyclic micro-slip, known as fretting, leads to removal of ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the chip-tool interface and its evolution in the low speed cutting of metals has been carried out. Specially prepared transparent glass and sapphire tools have been ...

Abstract: Machining produces surface residual stresses which significantly influence the strength and wear resistance of ceramic components. As new methods are developed for machining ceramics, a quick and ...

Abstract: Fretting is a frictional contact phenomenon that leads to damage at the contact region between two nominally-clamped surfaces subjected to oscillatory motion of small amplitudes. The region of ...

Abstract: Grinding temperatures are measured using an infrared sensor in ferrite and steel. For reference purposes, temperatures are also measured in a reduced model for grinding which consists of a ...
