Abstract: An analysis is conducted of the two-dimensional flow of Bingham solids between two rotating plates. The maximum friction law is adopted at the plate surface. An asymptotic analysis of the ...

Abstract: The friction coefficient (μ) of a contact surface with elliptical asperities is examined at various values of the plasticity index (ψ), the effective radius ratio (γ), the shear-strength-pressure ...

Abstract: A closed-form average lubrication equation for thin film grain flow with the effects of surface roughness is derived. This equation is based on Haff’s grain flow theory and also the flow ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of asperity interactions on the mean surface separation and real contact area of rough surfaces containing elliptical asperities with Gaussian and non-Gaussian ...

Abstract: This study developed an elastic-plastic microcontact model that considers the elliptical contact of surface asperities. In the elastoplastic regime, the relations of the mean contact pressure and ...

Abstract: This paper develops a nonlinear finite element formulation to analyze nanoindentation using an atomistic approach, which is conducive to observing the deformation mechanisms associated with the ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the performance of hydrodynamic journal bearings by applying the control-volume method to solve the average lubrication equation for grain flow. The grain characteristics, ...

Abstract: Thermosonic ball bonding is the method of choice for many interconnections to integrated circuits. This study investigated the effects of bonding parameters on bonding strength using a thermosonic ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of asperity interactions on the mean surface separation and the real contact area for rough surfaces with non-Gaussian height distributions. The effects of ...

Abstract: The main objective of the present paper is to show an effect of pressure-dependency of the yield criterion on the development of the plastic zone and the distribution of residual stresses in ...
