Abstract: A new full two-dimensional semianalytical method is developed to rigorously and efficiently solve the problem of a rigid cylinder rolling with any given constant speed over a viscoelastic foundation of finite thickness. ...

Abstract: Following the previous paper, “Full two-dimensional model for rolling resistance: Hard cylinder on viscoelastic foundation of finite thickness,” addressing modeling of rigid cylinder rolling against viscoelastic foundation ...

Abstract: This paper applies viscoelasticity and Winkler foundation assumptions to the analysis of the energy loss in conveyor systems caused by idler-indentation into the rubber cover of the belt. The analysis yields a simple ...

Abstract: A model for wear based on energy is developed. The model accounts for the volume of wear material produced during sliding and includes the possibility of debris reattachment to the contact ...
