Abstract: This concluding paper treats general load paths when the two components of the concentrated force are allowed to change independently with time. It is shown that there are two kinds of ...

Abstract: A simple one-dimensional model is described in which thermoelastic contact conditions give rise to nonuniqueness of solution. The stability of the various steady-state solutions discovered is ...

Abstract: The paper discusses the planar Hertz contact problem when the bodies are not only pressed together but also exchange heat by conduction. The nature of the problem and the results depend ...

Abstract: The mechanism of spalling failure in rolling contact is modeled by an elastic half-plane with a subsurface crack parallel to the surface, loaded by a compressive normal force which moves over ...

Abstract: The Mode I and II stress intensity factors (K I , K II ) at the two tips of a subsurface crack subjected to a moving compressive load are studied. Coulomb friction along the crack faces ...

Abstract: A solution is given for the thermal stresses due to a penny-shaped crack at the interface between dissimilar materials loaded in tension for the case where the heat flux is into the material ...
