Abstract: The paper presents a numerical analysis of the rolling contact between an elastic ellipsoid and an elastic-plastic flat. Numerical simulations have been performed with the help of a contact ...

Abstract: A semi-analytical method for the tridimensional elastic-plastic contact between two hemispherical asperities is proposed. The first part of the paper describes the algorithm used to deal with the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model based on a semianalytical method in the framework of small strains and small displacements is presented for solving an elastic-plastic contact with surface ...

Abstract: The stress field within machine components is an important indicator for contact failures. Since both thermal stresses due to frictional heating and plasticity are significant in engineering ...
