Strengthening and Weakening Effects in Bilayer Coated Spherical Contact

The effect of a middle-layer of thickness t1 with intermediate Young's modulus and yield strength in between a hard coating of thickness t2 and a softer spherical substrate of radius R on the yield inception of a coated system is investigated. Finite element method is used to model bilayer-coat...
