In typical metallic contacts, stresses are very high and result in yielding of the material.
Therefore, the study of contacts which include simultaneous elastic and plastic deformation …

It is realized that the addition of a small percentage of rigid nanoparticles to polymers
significantly improves many of their mechanical properties, especially stiffness and strength …

An elastic-plastic finite element model for the frictionless contact of a deformable sphere
pressed by a rigid flat is presented. The evolution of the elastic-plastic contact with …

This work presents a finite element study of elasto-plastic hemispherical contact. The results
are normalized such that they are valid for macro contacts (eg, rolling element bearings) and …

An elastic-plastic model for contacting rough surfaces that is based on accurate Finite
Element Analysis (FEA) of an elastic-plastic single asperity contact is presented. The …

The knowledge of contact stresses is critical to the design of a tribological element. It is
necessary to keep improving contact models and develop efficient numerical methods for …

The neglection of thermal-structure interaction of high-speed spindle system may lead to the
modeling error of the thermal characteristics. To improve the modeling accuracy, the thermal …

In order to avoid the degeneration of high-speed spindle's machining accuracy in actual
machining caused by the uneven distribution of temperature field at the design stage, a …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art contact force models for non-spherical particles,
which describe the relationship between the contact force and the geometrical, material, and …

It has been shown experimentally that boundary friction is proportional to load (commonly
known as Amontons' law) for more than 500 years, and the fact that it holds true over many …
