Determining a Surrogate Contact Pair in a Hertzian Contact Problem.
Laboratory testing of contact phenomena can be prohibitively expensive if the interacting bodies are geometrically complicated. This work demonstrates means to mitigate such problems by exploiting the established observation that two geometrically dissimilar contact pairs may exhibit the same contact mechanics. Specific formulas are derived that allow a complicated Hertzian contact pair to be r...
متن کاملHertzian Contact Damage in Porous Alumina Ceramics
A study has been made of Hertzian contact damage in compressive shear stress field beneath the contact area. The observed microcrack density increases with grain size, porous and dense liquid-phase-sintered aluminas. Indentation stress–strain curves show increasing nonlinearity as the implying a threshold microstructural scale for crack initiation. In contrast, the micromechanisms controlling f...
متن کاملFrictional Energy Dissipation in a Rough Hertzian Contact
The interfacial contact pressure and shear traction distributions are found for a sphere pressed onto an elastically similar half-space whose surface is populated by a uniform array of spherical asperities, when the normal load is constant and an oscillatory shear, less than that needed to cause sliding, is imposed. Details of the load history suffered by asperities in an outer sliding annulus ...
متن کاملHertzian contact transducers for nondestructive evaluation
Hertzian, dry, pointlike contacts are used to couple ultrasonic energy efficiently to plate wave modes in anisotropic solid plates. A new transducer configuration using a piezoelectric PZT-5H transducer and a quartz buffer rod is realized for this purpose. In particular, the lowest order antisymmetric Lamb wave (A0) mode is excited and detected in anisotropic plates at a frequency of 200 kHz an...
متن کاملUsing a surrogate contact pair to evaluate polyethylene wear in prosthetic knee joints.
With recent improvements to the properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) used in joint replacements, prosthetic knee and hip longevity may extend beyond two decades. However, it is difficult and costly to replicate such a long in vivo lifetime using clinically relevant in vitro wear testing approaches such as walking gait joint simulators. We advance a wear test intermedi...
