Abstract: Due to the friction moment, when two flat rough surfaces come to sliding contact or quasi-sliding contact, there is an inclined angle between these two surfaces. A two degree-of-freedom inclined ...

Abstract: As the size of contacting and sliding tribosystems decrease, intermolecular or adhesive forces become significant partly due to nanometer size surface roughness. The presence of adhesion has a ...

Abstract: As the areal density of magnetic disk storage continues to increase and head-disk spacing decreases, contact between the recording slider and the rotating media becomes imminent. In order to ...

Abstract: Modeling dynamic or kinetic friction for realistic engineering surfaces continues to be a challenge, partly due to the coupling between system dynamics and interfacial forces. In this paper, a ...

Abstract: Modeling of contact interfaces that inherently include roughness such as joints, clamping devices, and robotic contacts, is very important in many engineering applications. Accurate modeling of ...

Abstract: Spherical contact under combined normal and tangential loading has been investigated by many researchers, and some physically based criteria were proposed to capture the sliding inception, e.g., ...

Abstract: A numerical method is proposed to analyze the long-term structural behavior of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs), considering fluid–solid coupling and the spatial variability of model parameters. Initially, a method was ...
