When determining the surface temperature on the contact of two rubbing bodies employing the widely used method offered by Block, it is assumed that the distribution of pressure in the contact area remains similar to the distribution when the heat generation caused by friction is absent. But actually, if there is even a slightly noticeable heat generation on the surfaces of the contact, a local bulging appears near the contact area owing to the heat expansion of the rubbing bodies. This bulging changes the curve and consequently the law of distribution of pressure as compared to that of Hertz. The latter in its turn leads to alteration of maximum temperatures as compared to the universally adopted values. This paper deals with the composition and then with the solution of the basic integral-differential singular equation for distribution of pressures across the contact strip for the case of two contacting cylinders with parallel axes; the distribution of surface temperature is then found.

Plane contact problem of a punch sliding over a half-space is considered. The surface of the half-space is assumed to be rough and the roughness heights have the Gaussian distribution. The heat generation due to the friction is taken into account. The problem is reduced to nonlinear integral equations which are solved approximately. The effects of the frictional heating and the roughness on the contact size and on the contact pressure are presented.

The present paper introduces an accurate numerical procedure to assess the internal thermal energy generation in an annular porous-finned heat sink from the sole assessment of surface temperature profile using the golden section search technique. All possible heat transfer modes and temperature dependence of all thermal parameters are accounted for in the present nonlinear model. At first, the direct problem is numerically solved using the Runge–Kutta method, whereas for predicting the prevailing heat generation within a given generalized fin domain an inverse method is used with the aid of the golden section search technique. After simplifications, the proposed scheme is credibly verified with other methodologies reported in the existing literature. Numerical predictions are performed under different levels of Gaussian noise from which accurate reconstructions are observed for measurement error up to 20%. The sensitivity study deciphers that the surface temperature field in itself is a strong function of the surface porosity, and the same is controlled through a joint trade-off among heat generation and other thermo-geometrical parameters. The present results acquired from the golden section search technique-assisted inverse method are proposed to be suitable for designing effective and robust porous fin heat sinks in order to deliver safe and enhanced heat transfer along with significant weight reduction with respect to the conventionally used systems. The present inverse estimation technique is proposed to be robust as it can be easily tailored to analyse all possible geometries manufactured from any material in a more accurate manner by taking into account all feasible heat transfer modes.

The state of stress present in an elastic half-plane contact problem, where one or both bodies is subject to remote tension has been investigated, both for conditions of full stick and partial slip. The state of stress present near the contact edges is studied for different loading scenarios in an asymptotic form. This is of practical relevance to the study of contacts experiencing fretting fatigue, and enables the environment in which cracks nucleate to be specified.

Abstract Heat generation measurements of the lithium-ion battery are crucial for the design of the battery thermal management system. Most previous work uses the accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) to test heat generation of batteries. However, utilizing ARC can only obtain heat generation of the battery operating under the adiabatic condition, deviating from common operation scenarios with heat dissipation. Besides, using ARC is difficult to measure heat generation of the high-rate operating battery because the battery temperature easily exceeds the maximum safety limit. To address these problems, we propose a novel method to obtain heat generation of cylindrical battery based on core and surface temperature measurements and select the 21700 cylindrical battery as the research object. Based on the method, total heat generation at 1C discharge rate under the natural convection air cooling condition in the environmental chamber is about 3.2 kJ, and the average heat generation rate is about 0.9 W. While these two results measured by ARC are about 2.2 kJ and 0.6 W. This gap also reflects that different battery temperature histories have significant impacts on heat generation. In addition, using our approach, total heat generation at 2C discharge rate measured in the environmental chamber is about 5.0 kJ, with the average heat generation rate being about 2.8 W. Heat generation results obtained by our method are approximate to the actual battery operation and have advantages in future applications.

The basic aim in this work is to present a new technique to analyze the contact surfaces developed by the contact between the tires and the structural pavements by numerical simulations, using 3D finite element formulations with contact mechanics. For this purpose, the Augmented Lagrangian method is used. This study is performed just putting the tires on the structural pavement. These tires and the structural pavement are discretized by finite elements under large 3D elastoplastic deformation. The real loads (of aircrafts, trucks or cars) are applied directly on each tire and by contact mechanics procedures, the real contact area between the tires and the pavement surface is computed. The penetration conditions and the contact interfaces are investigated in details. Furthermore, the pressure developed at the contact surfaces is automatically calculated and transferred to the structural pavement by contact mechanics techniques. The purpose of this work research is to show that the contact area is not circular and the finite element techniques can calculate automatically the real contact area, the real geometry and its stresses and strains. In the end of this work, numerical results in terms of geometry, stress and strain are presented and compared to show the ability of the algorithm. These numerical results are also compared with the numerical results obtained by the commercial program ANSYS.

Investigation of the function of the relative volume of pores under the load action is carried out on the base of the solution of the static contact problem of the indentation of a layer made of a material with voids or unfilled pores. A rigid strip indenter with a flat base is pressed into a porous layer that is adhered to a non-deformable base along the lower boundary. The formulated 3D problem of the indentation of a porous layer is reduced to solving the plane contact problem of the indentation of a porous strip. The plane contact problem is reduced to solving an integral equation for unknown contact stresses, the solution of which is constructed by the method of successive approximations in the form of an asymptotic expansion in the dimensionless parameter of the problem. The obtained contact stresses and the force acting on the indenter made it possible to study the influence of the nonclassical moduli of the layer porous material (the connectivity modulus and pore rigidity modulus) on the main contact characteristics and on the distribution of the function of the relative pore volume. The connectivity modulus increase leads to an increase in the compliance of the layer porous material, the pore rigidity modulus increase leads to an increase in the rigidity of the layer porous material. The maximum value of the distribution function of the relative pore volume in the porous material of the layer is achieved under the indenter base centre, regardless of the change in the porous material non-classical moduli.
