Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

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

Areal 3D analysis of surface texture gives more opportunities than a study of 2D profiles.
Surface topography evaluation, considered as 3D dimensional analysis in micro or …

Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies reported in the literature, surface
micro-texturing to control friction and wear in lubricated tribo-contacts is still in the trial-and …

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 …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph. The first edition [202] was
published in 1996 in the Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences series (vol. 220) …

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 paper presents an elastic-plastic asperity microcontact model for contact between two
nominally flat surfaces. The transition from elastic deformation to fully plastic flow of the …

The Handbook of Surface and Nanometrology explains and challenges current concepts in
nanotechnology. It covers in great detail surface metrology and nanometrology and more …

This paper presents experimental and theoretical modeling studies on the tangential contact
stiffness and friction hysteresis of bolted joint interfaces under transversal vibration. A new …
