...Joseph M. Block; Leon M. Keer The normal contact of a frictionless elastic coated cylinder indented by a flat rigid surface is solved using a Michell–Fourier series expansion, which satisfies the mixed boundary value problem resulting from partial contact. The boundary conditions are chosen...

... alternative to well-known techniques. The main idea is to rewrite the boundary value problem consisting of the Reynolds equation and the JFO boundary conditions as an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) problem. In the following, an ALE formulation of the Reynolds equation with JFO boundary conditions...

...Joseph M. Block; Leon M. Keer The normal contact of a frictionless, elastic curved beam indented by a flat, rigid surface is solved using a Michell–Fourier series expansion, which satisfies the mixed boundary value problem resulting from partial contact. When the contact region is small compared...

... combustion engines thin films boundary-value problems A significant part of the total power loss in a reciprocating engine is due to piston ring and cylinder bore friction. On the other hand, durability of engine materials for improved friction and wear characteristics remain an area of strong...
