The contact problem of a circular rigid punch on piezomagnetic materials
(2007)In this project; a general theory for the axisymmetric indentation of piezomagnetic solids by a fiat rigid punch is presented within the context of fully coupled linear model, in the absence of friction or adhesion. It is ... -
Elastic and viscoelastic indentation of flat surfaces by pyramid indentors
(2006)The present work presents the results of frictionless and adhesionless contact of flat surfaces by pyramid indentors. The materials of the contacting solids were modelled as homogeneous and isotropic, linear elastic, as ... -
Indentation of plastically graded substrates by sharp indentors
(2002)The present paper investigates the indentation of plastically graded substrates by sharp indentors. Contact analysis of plastically graded surfaces can be particularly useful in the design of load-bearing devices such as ...
