The Effect of Asperity Geometry on Elastic-Plastic Statistical and Multi-scale Rough Surface Contact Models 

Chu, Nolan (2018-04-20)
The solution to an elastic-plastic contact problem can be applied to many phenomena such as friction, wear, and thermal contact resistance. Many models have been developed to solve it. A deterministic approach accurately ...

A ROUGH SURFACE MIXED LUBRICATION MODEL OF MACHINE COMPONENT INTERFACES WITH AN EXPERIEMENTAL EVALUATION 

Chu, Nolan (2023-05-02)  ETD File Embargoed
This work develops a numerical methodology for predicting the performance of an automotive piston ring system by considering contact and lubrication mechanics. The rough surface contact mechanics and lubrication occurs ...
