The material dumping, known also as inner friction or, simply hysteresis, is considered to be related to energy dissipation in the volume of a macro-continuous medium. This phenomenon takes place when a more or less ...

The paper advances an analytical model to evaluate the effect of micro-slip on the friction losses at the interface of a normally loaded rolling contact. The model validation was done by comparing the theoretical results ...

These authors published theoretical results upon the stress state induced in an elastic half-plane containing a circular hole by a point force applied on its boundary. The solutions were found in bipolar co-ordinates and ...

Because the great majority of flow units in a liquid behave instantaneously in a solid-like manner, rheological properties of molecular liquids subjected to high pressures may be measured by using corresponding molecular ...

The paper presents a state of the art concerning radial fretting for dissimilar bodies and fretting damage. Four simple fretting models are defined in the literature: tangential, radial, rotational and torsional. Only the ...

A fast algorithm to predict elastic fields due to arbitrarily shaped eigenstrains in an elastic, isotropic half-space is advanced in this paper. The inclusion domain is partitioned in a set of cuboids of uniform eigenstrains, ...

The paper presents an analytic solution for the stress states in an elastic plan where two unequal circular holes are lying. At infinity, the elastic plane is sheared. To solve the problem, the authors used bipolar ...

A fast algorithm for elastic-plastic contact simulation is overviewed in this paper. Betti’s reciprocal theorem is employed to assess surface normal displacement and stress state in an elastic half-space in the presence ...

The paper presents a virtual device designed for studying tri-dimensional impact. The main goal of the work is to present a solution for finding the coefficient of restitution for the tri-dimensional case of a sphere ...

In this paper a simple device for modelling bioarticular friction is presented. The experimental device serves to simulate the movement as it would take place in a knee joint. Key components of the experimental device are ...
