Contact Mechanics Models Overview
On behalf of Professor George Adams. This is an overview of contact mechanics models in case of two spheres. The overview starts with Hertz model and continues to adhesive models and Greenwood-Williamson. A very good good summary for the case of...
Contact Mechanics – Subsurfaces Stress
Contact mechanics code useful for calculating subsurface stress
Lubrication and wear at metal/HDPE contact: thesis
This thesis considers lubrication and wear in artificial joint replacements. The lubrication theory and model development is described in details and can be useful for anyone starting in the area of lubrication modeling.
The correct lubricant by Petr Vavruch: A guide to choose lubricating oil
'The correct lubricant' covers basic practical information about lubricants in automotive and industrial areas. It is written for users of lubricants, giving only what is essential to know and useful for them. It could also be used by professionals in...
Topography analysis of random anisotropic Gaussian rough surfaces
This work demonstrates the importance of summit parameters for an anisotropic Gaussian rough surface. It is shown that lay direction may significantly affect the running-n wear process.
An LCP solution of the one-dimensional linear elastic contact mechanics problem
A script that solves the linear complementarity problem associated with the Boussinesq contact mechanics problem h = K*p+g, h'*p=0, h,p >=0, where the unknown h is the gap between two elastic (half-space) bodies and the unknown p is the corresponding contact...
An LCP-based cavitation algorithm
Matlab routines solving a linear complementarity problem appearing in lubrication with cavitation. Can also be found at the file exchange at MATLAB central.
TriboSolver
TriboSolver (formerly known as Tribology Simulator) is a cloud based software for the simulation of the most common tribological problems: rough contact problem (pressure and subsurface stress calculations, deflections, stiffnesses), Elastohydrodynamic problem, Stribeck Curve simulation (calculation of friction in mixed...
JKR, MD, and DMT models of adhesion
These m-files calculate the adhesive parameters of the contact between 2 spheres based on the mechanical and geometrical properties of these 2 bodies and show the pressure distribution in such a contact.
