Running-in and residual stress : finite element contact analysis of as measured rough surfaces and comparison with experiment
The principal aim of this thesis was to investigate the contact and deformation of rough surfaces such as those found on the teeth of gears. Freshly manufactured surfaces undergo a process known as “running-in”, in which the surface geometry is altered as a result of contact under load. Plastic defo...
