This article presents a study of the contact stresses between a rail and a wheel, in order to understand the mechanism related to this application. When two bodies, regardless of their forms, touch each other due to an ...

Neste trabalho é apresentado um estudo analítico e numérico a respeito das tensões superficiais entre dois elementos. Quando uma força externa é aplicada a dois corpos em contato, verifica-se a existência de uma pequena ...

In this work, a series of finite element analyses was conducted to analyze the stresses in thin film-coated piston rings under contact loads. The actual normal and tangential pressure observed during a complete four-stroke ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal contact area for loading on the cuspal defection and stress distribution in a first premolar restored with a high elastic modulus restorative material. The ...

Bearings are mechanical elements capable of transferring motion between two or more parts in a machine. When an external load is applied, the rolling elements and their rings tend to initiate a cyclical movement between ...

Mental health benefits have been linked to human interaction with nature. However, most studies have been carried out in developed countries, limiting the generalizability of empirical findings to other parts of the world. ...

Stress concentrations at the ends of a flat contact including frictional sliding are analyzed in this article by using the finite element (FE) method. The numerical studies are conducted with a shaft coupled to the hub by ...

In this work, the influence of different crack arrangements in the stress distribution of hard chromium (HC) coatings was determined. Three parameters for position and length of the cracks for two different types of coatings ...
