A contact interaction of structural elements by conformed surfaces models, algorithms, results of research

Abstract

A significant amount of machine building structures consists of elements, which are in contact with each other on the matched surfaces. Specific features of the contact pressure distribution and the areas of elastic solids contact are substantiated in certain cases. It is because, the shape and the size of the contact areas under a non-zero load do not depend on its level. Additionally, the contact pressure law also does not depend on the load, and the pressure quantity is directly proportional to ones.
