Finite Element Methods for Rolling Contact

This contribution is concerned with finite-element-formulation of rolling contact problems. For this, first the theoretical background of continuum mechanics and contact kinematics is given for steady and non-steady rolling processes. This includes remark

PREFACE

The contact mechanical study of rolling with creep started in 1926 when Carter published the exact solution in the 2D case. In 1958 this was followed by Johnson's studies on rolling with creep and spin in the 3D case. This study was approximate, which was the reason for Kalker's preoccupation with the problem. He succeeded in solving the problem numerically. Whereas Kalker's studies were virtually confined to the half-space geometry, Wriggers turned his attention to the FEM, in which much more general types of geometry could be treated, at the same time as non-linear deformations also could be studied. Whereas the above studies were based on elasticity, Johnson and his pupils turned their attention towards plastic deformation contact problems, where permanent deformation of the material remained when the loading was removed. Such plastic deformations, in the form of contact surface corrugations, were later studied by Knothe. The phenomenon of corrugation is fascinating and the formation of quasiperiodic irregularities on contacting swfaces has important applications both for rail bound traffic and for normal roads. The corrugations influence the ground contact force variations and thereby the vibrations and noise generation. For railway and road traffic the vibrations generated in the rolling contacts are one of the major reasons for the high level of disturbing noise transmitted to the surroundings. Stanworth studied some of these problems, especially the
