Surfaces of tightly fitted joints such as splines and dovetails in aero-engines are expected in
nominally static contact but experience small amplitude oscillations in practice, leading to …

A calculation model is developed to solve elasto-plastic partial slip contact problems of
graded layer-substrate systems. With the high dependence of contact stress on the local …

A semi-analytical model is developed for the two-dimensional fretting contact of layered
materials with vertical cracks near surfaces to investigate the effects of layers and cracks on …

The damage evolution induced by three types of carbides in M50 bearing steel is studied in
this paper. Stress distribution in the micro-domain is initially obtained to calculate the …

The interference fit surface between planetary gears and corresponding bearings in the
planetary gearbox suffers from the most severe variable load during operation and is prone …

This paper investigates the thermo-elastoplastic sliding frictional contact and wear problem
of a functionally graded material (FGM) coated homogeneous half-plane subjected to a rigid …

In this investigation, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) was developed to
study fretting wear of Hertzian circular and line contacts. The wear law incorporated in this …

Semi-analytical models have been developed to analyze the contact of inhomogeneous
materials based on the equivalent inclusion method. It is important to pursue a higher …

Double-layered inhomogeneities consist of enclosed, or layered, inhomogeneities of
different material properties, embedded in a matrix material. They are found in engineering …

A numerical model replicating the stick-slip contact of two elastically similar materials is
presented in this paper. Based on the Coulomb's law described in the partial-slip theory of …
