Controlling sliding droplets with optimal contact angle distributions and a phase field model [PDF]
We consider the optimal control of a droplet on a solid by means of the static contact angle between the contact line and the solid. The droplet is described by a thermodynamically consistent phase field model from [Abels et al., Math. Mod. Meth.

Rothe method and numerical analysis for history-dependent hemivariational inequalities with applications to contact mechanics [PDF]
In this paper an abstract evolutionary hemivariational inequality with a history-dependent operator is studied. First, a result on its unique solvability and solution regularity is proved by applying the Rothe method.

Tykhonov triples and convergence results for hemivariational inequalities
Consider an abstract Problem P in a metric space (X; d) assumed to have a unique solution u. The aim of this paper is to compare two convergence results u'n → u and u''n → u, both in X, and to construct a relevant example of convergence result un → u ...

Multibody dynamics simulation and experimental verification for unwinding behavior of bobbin yarn
This paper propses a numerical simulation model for the unwinding behavior of a bobbin yarn based on the multibody dynamics method. When the edge of a yarn, wound on a bobbin, is pulled in upper direction, it starts moving naturally from the static ...

Frictionless Contact Between a Rigid Indentor and a Transversely Isotropic Functionally Graded Layer
This article is concerned with the study of frictionless contact between a rigid punch and a transversely isotropic functionally graded layer. The rigid punch is assumed to be axially symmetric and is supposed to be pressing the layer by an applied ...

Finite element modeling of elevator wire rope to reproduce the radial-direction stiffness
We have investigated the finite element modeling for the elevator wire rope 8×S(19) to reproduce the stiffnesses in both axial and radial directions. In order to validate the finite element calculation, compression test to measure the radial-direction ...
