The Cattaneo–Mindlin concept of interfacial slip in tangentially loaded compliant bodies is
revisited and its basic simplifying assumptions are critically examined. It is shown that these …

The real contact area and separation between rough surfaces are significant parameters in
sealing, tribology, and lubrication. However, it is challenging to experimentally observe the …

The optimization of surface finish to improve performance, such as adhesion, friction, wear,
fatigue life, or interfacial transport, occurs largely through trial and error, despite significant …

An elastic contact model for three-dimensional layered or coated materials under coupled
normal and tangential loads, with consideration of partial slip effects, has been developed in …

This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical model for the simulation of the contacts
of elastically dissimilar materials. This model is based on the Boussinesq–Cerruti integral …

The progress in fretting fatigue understanding and predictability is reviewed, with
engineering applications in mind. While industrial assessments often relies on simple …

The contact of solids with rough surfaces plays a fundamental role in physical phenomena
such as friction, wear, sealing, and thermal transfer. However, its simulation is a challenging …

This paper revisits the fundamental equations for the solution of the frictionless unilateral
normal contact problem between a rough rigid surface and a linear elastic half-plane using …

Angular misalignment, defined as the tilted angle between the outer ring and inner ring, is
unavoidable in most applications of tapered roller bearings (TBRs) due to many potential …

The effect of dry metallic friction can be attributed to two major mechanisms: adhesion and
ploughing. While ploughing is related to severe wear and degradation, adhesion can be …
