Contact Between Plates and Unilateral Supports

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1984
The tendency of a laterally loaded, unilaterally constrained, rectangular plate to separate from its simple supports motivates one to consider the actual extent of contact. In the case of a square plate, an appropriately chosen finite integral transform converts the dual series equations that result from the Levy-Nadai approach to one singular integral

On the Correction of Unilateral Aphakia with Contact Lenses

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1958
Introduction During the past two decades, but especially during the last 10 years, there has appeared in the literature an increasing number of articles and discussions dealing with the clinical results of the correction of unilateral aphakia with contact lenses. Certain findings of clinical interest emerge from the study of these reports.

Unilateral temporomandibular disorder and asymmetry of occlusal contacts

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2003
The relationship between temporomandibular disorders and occlusal tooth contacts is unclear and controversial.This study assessed whether unilateral temporomandibular disorders were associated with the absence of bilateral symmetry in the number of occlusal contacts.Fifteen university dental students who had complete natural dentition and normal ...

Optimization of Structures in Unilateral Contact

Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1999
This article gives a review of optimization of structures in mechanical contact. Emphasis is put on linear elastic structures in frictionless contact. In particular, for optimization problems where an energy objective is used, a unified framework is given in parallel with the review.

Analysis of the stochastic “unilateral contact” problem

Computers & Structures, 1977
Abstract In the present paper the stochastic analysis of structures with “unilateral contact”-boundary conditions is considered. Initially the problem of “unilateral contact” is formulated in a variational inequality form. Then the theorems of minimum potential and complementary energy, which are derived to account for this type of boundary ...

Unilateral Contact. Contact with Adhesion

2002
The basic unilateral contact theory does not allow resistance to tension [236, 239, 93, 177, 13, 97, 80, 247, 230, 74, 75, 256, 161, 9, 69, 150, 10, 28]. The resistance to tension is due to microscopic bonds between the surfaces of the solids in contact: this is the adhesion phenomenon.

Unilateral contact problems for cables

Engineering Structures, 1979
Abstract A cable (such as in a submarine energy-transmission line) is supposed to be subjected to given transversal loads and a given tension force, in the vicinity of a frictionless rigid ground of known profile. The search for its equilibrium configuration is a contact (unilateral support) problem of a special kind. The problem is studied here with
