...Y. Zait; V. Zolotarevsky; Y. Kligerman; I. Etsion The multiple normal loading-unloading process of an elastic-plastic sphere by a rigid flat is analyzed using finite element method for stick contact condition and both kinematic and isotropic hardening models. The behavior of the global contact...

...-compensated four-pocket worn hydrostatic journal bearing operating with micropolar lubricant have been presented for a wide range of values of nondimensional external load, wear depth parameter, and micropolar parameters. The simulated results have also been presented for two different loading arrangements...

...Roman Teutsch, Research Assistant; Bernd Sauer, Professor A new, fast method is presented for the analysis of roller-race contact in roller bearings. Based on a theoretical and implicit load-deflection relationship, an improved slicing technique is developed which accounts for a more accurate...
