Indentation is a remarkably flexible mechanical test due to its relative experimental
simplicity. Coupled with advances in instrument development, ease of implementation has …

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of sprayed coating is complicated process relating to materials,
structures, loading conditions, etc. Herein, the research works over the past decades in RCF …

This paper presents a comparative study of different methods, such as the analytical method,
finite element method (FEM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) for analyzing a frictionless …

In this study, the continuous and discontinuous contact problems of functionally graded (FG)
layer resting on a rigid foundation were considered. The top of the FG layer was loaded by a …

The problem of thermoelastic contact mechanics for the coating/substrate system with
functionally graded properties is investigated, where the rigid flat punch is assumed to slide …

This study investigates the plane frictional contact problem of a cylindrical punch on a
functionally graded orthotropic medium (FGOM). Both analytical and computational methods …

The problem of a rigid punch contacting with a finite graded layer on a rigid substrate is
investigated within the framework of steady-state plane strain thermoelasticity, in which heat …

The frictional receding contact problem for two graded layers pressed by a rigid punch is
considered in this paper. The punch is subjected to both normal and tangential loads …

We consider in this paper the fully coupled contact problem between a rigid cylinder and a
functionally graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate system under plane strain …
