First approach to unilateral transfemoral amputees' contact mechanics
The stresses in the hip area have great importance because of their relationship to the health of the joint. Finite element models can predict contact between cartilages, however, contact patterns in unilateral transfemoral amputees have not yet been ...

Adhesion between bodies is strongly influenced by surface roughness. In this note, we try to clarify how the statistical properties of the contacting surfaces affect the adhesion under the assumption of long-range adhesive interactions.

Tykhonov well-posedness of fixed point problems in contact mechanics
We consider a fixed point problem S u = u $\mathcal {S}u=u$ where S : C ( R + ; X ) → C ( R + ; X ) ${\mathcal {S}:C(\mathbb{R}_{+};X)\to C(\mathbb{R}_{+};X)}$ is an almost history-dependent operator.

Loss of meniscal function due to symptomatic meniscal tears or meniscectomy leads to biomechanical instability and articular cartilage degeneration. Synthetic meniscal implants ought to ideally restore normal joint contact mechanics and thus forfending ...

Contact mechanics and friction: Role of adhesion
This paper presents an overview of the role of adhesion in various tribological phenomena. We discuss (1) adhesion and adhesive hysteresis in rough contacts, (2) adhesive contribution to dry friction, (3) properties of adhesive contacts under tangential ...

Elastic and Elastoplastic Contact Mechanics of Concentrated Coated Contacts
Machines operate under increasingly harsher contact conditions, causing significant wear and contact fatigue. Sub-surface stresses are responsible for the premature contact fatigue of rolling element bearings, meshing gears, and cam–follower pairs ...
