The basic ideas behind a contact mechanics theory for randomly rough surfaces are
presented. The theory is based on studying the interface at increasing magnification. At the …

When an electric current flow across an interface between two contacting solids a change in
the electric potential occur over the interface. One part of the electric contact resistance is …

This article analyzes the commonly used non-destructive testing methods of bolted joints.
The contact method has high recognition accuracy for preload detection but is greatly …

In this paper, the nonlinear response variability in turbine bladed disks coupled with under-
platform dampers (UPDs) is both numerically and experimentally investigated in detail. Non …

The contact interaction between compliant mechanisms and external objects is a common
occurrence in the field of grasping and manipulation. However, accurately modeling the …

Elastomeric rollers are important components in applications such as printing and roll-to-roll
manufacturing. To gain insight into roller mechanics and provide a basis for further …

Contact tests on machined and natural granite showed that extensive plastic deformation
which extends to the core shape is happening before the cross-over from the behaviour of …

Fretting corrosion of stainless steel in the LBE affects the safety of lead-cooled fast reactors.
Slip amplitude and normal load are the main mechanical factors affecting fretting wear …

This paper proposes a modified tangential contact stiffness model considering friction's
effect, which is the first key step to establish the dynamic model of the fixture-workpiece …

This article investigates the effect of various fillets on the performance characteristics of relay
electrical contacts. Finite element modeling (FEM) of a relay electrical contact is designed in …
