The Indentation Rolling Resistance in Belt Conveyors: A Model for the Viscoelastic Friction

In this paper, we study the steady-state rolling contact of a linear viscoelastic layer of finite thickness and a rigid indenter made of a periodic array of equally spaced rigid cylinders. The viscoelastic contact model is derived by means of Green’s function approach, which allows solving...
