Contact and friction are closely related as friction cannot happen without contact. They are
widely used in mechanical engineering, traffic, and other fields. The real contact surface is …

Grinding is a pervasive technique employed in manufacturing and machining fields. Metal
surfaces after grinding processing exhibit striated surface topography, which can be …

This paper presents an analytical description of frictional contact hysteresis behavior
between two flat rough surfaces in partial and gross slip. Couplings between shear and …

Interfacial performances are dissimilar due to the different surface topographies and
materials. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of the surface topography on the contact …

This research investigates the mixed lubrication of anisotropic non-Gaussian rough
surfaces. An adaptive fluid Reynolds equation is proposed, which takes into account …

Accurate prediction of normal contact behavior for rock joints is essential for understanding
the interfacial physical properties and multi-physics coupling processes within jointed rock …

An analytical ploughing model is used to compute the forces on a rigid, elliptical, ie ellipsoid
and elliptic-paraboloid shaped, asperity sliding through a rigid-plastic substrate as a function …

The discrete element method (DEM) is seeing widespread use in geotechnical applications
and it is generally acknowledged that the validity of DEM simulations involving this class of …

Understanding the contact behaviors of rock joint is of fundamental importance in many rock
engineering practices. Most of the available contact models rely on the spatial features of …

The paper deals with modelling and calculations of asymmetrical multi-bolted joints at the
assembly stage. The physical model of the joint is based on a system composed of four …
