Iterative Calculation

This paper presents a new numerical method for computing the elastic normal surface displacement field caused by a given normal pressure distribution. The pressure function is approximated by a piecewise biquadratic polynomial on the whole domain analyzed, and the deformation of every node is expressed as a linear combination of the nodal pressures whose coefficients can be combined into a deformation matrix. Consequently, the iterative calculation of elastic deformation is simplified and the amount of work is greatly reduced. It has been proved, in addition, that the numerical accuracy of the new method is higher than that of some others.

A new method to measure the frictional stresses and normal pressure in the roll gap during cold rolling, and experimental verification of this new method, are presented. The method overcomes many of the shortcomings of pin-type sensors. The elastic deformation of the roll itself is measured with strain gages, and is used to calculate the stresses between the sheet and the roll. Since no modification of the roll is necessary, the deformation process is undisturbed by the measurement. Mechanical isolation of the sensor is unnecessary. The mathematical procedure used to calculate the normal pressure and frictional stresses from the measured strains explicitly acknowledges that these strains are the result of the entire distribution of pressures and shears in the roll gap. An experimental rolling mill was constructed to verify the proposed method. Lead was rolled, and the resulting pressure and frictional stress distributions in the roll gap were measured. Several features of these distributions are in agreement with measurements made by various investigators using other techniques, thereby confirming the usefulness of the new method. Future work is proposed to increase the accuracy with which the roll gap stresses may be measured.

Worn Surface

The worn surface profile of a composite structure was experimentally and numerically investigated focusing on the effects of sliding conditions. Wear tests on composites made of an oxide ceramic and an amorphous metal against a tetragonal zirconia polycrystals-alumina were carried out under various mean contact pressures, P, and sliding velocities, V. The test results showed that the worn surface profiles of the composites changed with the PV value. A new numerical method for simulating the worn surface profile of a composite structure has been developed. The present method is based upon the assumption that the profile of a worn surface is changed by thermal distortion of the sliding bodies due to frictional heating and by elastic deformation due to normal pressure and friction traction. The calculated results were compared with the test results, and the comparison showed that the elastic deformation plays an important role in forming the worn surface profile and that the effect of thermal distortion becomes remarkable with an increase in PV values. The numerical results clarified the contribution of the thermal distortion to the change in the worn surface profile of the composite.

In this paper the effect on braking torque of the geometry of contact between brake shoes and drums is presented. It is shown that elastic deformation as well as errors in dimensional and assembly errors substantially affect the value of the braking torque. Investigations of pressure distribution on friction lining, brake factor, brake element deformation, and wear of linings carried out on mine winder installations are presented.

Powder Compacts

In this paper, a modified slab analysis has been used to determine the pressure distribution in the cylindrical compaction of aluminum powder under rotating die compaction. The analytical results are discussed to explain the pressure distribution and the interaction of the various parameters. To predict the density distribution in a powder compact under an applied pressure with torsion, the pressure function is coupled with some form of a pressure density relationship. High relative density can be realized in powder compacts by the rotating die compaction in contrast to the conventional compaction. A numerical analysis, using the DEFORM3D simulation software, is also carried out on the compaction under the rotating punch.

Lubricated Contact

Surface topography significantly influences the behavior of lubricated contacts between highly loaded machine elements. Most oil- or grease- lubricated machine elements such as gears, rolling bearings, cams and traction drives operate in mixed lubrication conditions and the lubricant film thickness is directly related to the main practical performance parameters such as function, wear, contact fatigue and scuffing. For determination wear and especially contact fatigue, the values and distribution of the pressure in rolling contact are required. The theoretical studies usually involve the numerical solution of pressure and film thickness in the contact, using some physical mathematical model built around the Reynolds equation to describe the flow and the theory of elastic deformation of semi-infinite bodies. Such calculations can be extremely time consuming, especially when lubricant films are very thin and/or contact load very high. This study is aimed at obtaining pressure distribution within lubricated contact from measured film thickness. Lubricant film thickness distribution within the whole concentrated contact is evaluated from chromatic interferograms by thin film colorimetric interferometry. Consequently, an elastic deformation is separated from the film thickness, geometry and mutual approach of the surfaces. Calculation of the pressure distribution is based on inverse elasticity theory. EHD lubricated contact with smooth surfaces of solids was first investigated. Calculated pressure, distributions were compared with data obtained from full numerical solution to check the accuracy. The approach was also applied to surfaces with dents and their influence on distribution of pressure in lubricant film.

A numerical technique has been developed to deal with three-dimensional rolling contact problems with an arbitrary contact region under an arbitrary pressure. Results of this technique are checked against existing solutions for cases of Hertzian contact. A solution for a case of non-Hertzian contact is also presented. This numerical technique works satisfactorily for cases with small spin creepage. For cases of large spin creepage, we utilize a recent work (by the authors) for the limiting case of fully developed sliding contact.

A pontoon type very large floating structure has elastic deformations in ocean waves. The deformation is larger than that of a semi-submergible type one. Thus, a pontoon type one will be installed to tranquil shallow water field enclosed by breakwaters. Moreover, a semi-submergible one will be applicable to development at offshore field. The authors has developed a pontoon type VLFS with an OWC (oscillating water column) type wave energy absorption system. This can be install to offshore field being deep water relatively. Such VLFS can reduce not only the elastic deformation but also the wave drifting forces. However, it is very difficult to reduce the wave drifting forces effectively because an effect of the reduction depends on the wave energy absorption. Therefore, the authors propose an air supported type VLFS. This idea has been already proposed. However, it wasn’t handled a flexible structure. Such an air-supported structure makes to transmit many waves. Therefore, the wave drifting forces may not increase. In addition, the elastic deformation may decrease because pressure distribution due to the incident waves becomes constant at the bottom of the structure, i.e. the pressure is constant in a same air chamber. We develop the program code for the analysis of the hydrodynamic forces on the VLFS with the air cushion. The potential flow theory is applied and the pressure distribution method is used to the analysis of the wave pressures. The zero-draft is assumed in this method. The pressure and volume change of the air cushion are linearized. In this paper, basic characteristics of the elastic deformations of the air-supported flexible floating structures are investigated. We confirm the effectiveness, and discuss behaviors of the water waves in air chamber areas.
