Abstract: The contact of regular patterned rough surface in magnetic recording was analyzed to predict the contact area, meniscus force and permissible load under thin-film lubricated conditions. The contact ...

Abstract: A new numerical method for the analysis of elastic and elastic-plastic contacts of two rough surfaces has been developed. The method is based on a variational principle in which the real area ...

Abstract: The surface temperature rise for a semi-infinite body due to different moving heat sources is analyzed for the entire range of Peclet number using a Green’s function method. Analytical and ...

Abstract: A model is proposed for use in determining the contact surface temperature in dry and boundary lubricated sliding systems. The model uses the concepts of small scale and large scale heat flow ...
