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 ...

Comparison of Contact Stress Distribution for Foam Seat and Seat of Auxetic Spring Skeleton
The objective of this paper is to present and compare the results of numerical solutions of contact problem for two types of seats subjected to typical sitting loadings. The first seat is made of a typical hyperelastic foam, the other is designed with an

The use of a non-classical friction law in finite-element analysis of contact problems [PDF]
Bibliography: leaves 82-84.In this thesis a description is given of the numerical treatment of contact problems in elasticity. Frictional effects on the contact surface are modelled by using a nonlocal, nonlinear friction law.

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 ...

On the dynamic contact problem with two deformable stamps [PDF]
The problem of the time-harmonic behavior of two deformable semi-infinite stamps lying on a deformable base is considered. It is assumed that the stamps converge with parallel ends in such a way that they form a crack, defect, or tectonic fault in the ...
