When two bodies are in contact, various surface/subsurface damage problems may arise,
which significantly shorten the service lives of functional components. These damage …

The interface behavior between coated films, coated spheres and carbon nanotube (CNT)-
reinforced composites governs their mechanical properties due to the large interface area …

The shrinkage stress of thermal cured epoxy resin developed during curing process can
cause low film adhesion strength, low dimensional accuracy and even coating films warping …

Strain hardening is common in ductile materials, especially metal materials. However,
material strain hardening is rarely considered in the study of asperity contact of rough …

In this paper, a new rotation-magnified viscoelastic damper (RMVD) was developed. The
damper applying the lever principle amplified the relatively small angular deformation …

In this study, eighteen elastic-plastic theoretical contact models are selected to investigate
the spherical particle impacting on a half-space, where deformations occur on both objects …

The loading and unloading process of a deformable sphere pressed by a rigid flat is a
primary problem in contact mechanics. This work studies the contact of an elastic–plastic …

Abstract Plasma Mo–Si–Ti coating including the (Ti, Mo) 5 Si 3, MoSi 2 and TiSi was
prepared on γ-TiAl surface to improve the wear resistance. The coating had 12-μm …

Contact surfaces widely exist in the engineering applications and their contact behaviors
strongly affect the mechanical performance. The normal contact stiffness, as an important …

We present a force-displacement contact model for the compressive loading of elastoplastic
spheres. This model builds from the well known Hertz contact law for elastic, quasistatic …
