Contact problems for elastic stripes have been well studied and published in domestic scientific literature. This is partly due to the fact that normative documents on foundation structure it recommended use this model simulation of a “structure – soil foundation” system. Two variants boundary conditions at contact between half-strip rigid non-deformable base are usually considered. The first c...

Reservoir characterization has a leading role in the reservoir geophysics and reservoir management. Since the interests of the reservoir geophysics and reservoir managements are the elastic properties and reservoir properties of the subsurface rock for their purposes, a robust method is required for converting seismic data into elastic properties. Accordingly, by employing a rock physics model ...

We study squalane and heptamethylnonane (HMN) confined between a conducting atomic force microscope tip and a graphite surface. Solvation layering occurs for both liquids but marked differences in the squeeze out mechanics are observed for ordered or disordered monolayers. The squalane monolayer at 25 degrees C is an ordered solid, as verified by direct imaging, and the squeeze out can be model...

Haptic rendering involving deformable objects has seen many applications, from surgical simulation and training, to virtual prototyping, to teleoperation, etc. High quality rendering demands both physical fidelity and real-time performance, which are often conflicting requirements. In this paper, we simulate contact force between a held rigid body and an elastic object and the corresponding sha...
