In this paper, an analytical model based on Modified Slab Method is presented for rolling of clad sheet or double-layers in which the two layers are bounded prior to rolling. This model considers the general case of asymmetrical rolling due to unequal &#10surface speed, different contact friction, roll diameters, flow stress, and thickness ratios of the two layers. Using this model, rolling par...

We present an efficient spacetime optimization method to automatically generate animations for a general volumetric, elastically deformable body. Our approach can model the interactions between the body and the environment and automatically generate active animations. We model the frictional contact forces using contact invariant optimization and the fluid drag forces using a simplified model. ...

Here, we have utilized Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) based mechanical pushing of micro/nano-objects to study adhesion and friction characterization at the micro/nanoscale. Continuum micro/nano-friction models for particle rolling, spinning and sliding cases are discussed for general particle-substrate interfaces. A rolling resistance model using the Double-Hertz model is devoloped for such gen...

Simulation of dynamic systems possessing unilateral frictional contacts is important to many industrial applications. While rigid body models are often employed, it is well established that friction can cause problems with the existence and uniqueness of the forward dynamics problem. In these situations, we argue that compliant contact models, while increasing the length of the state vector, su...

In this research a final element model for simulating three dimensional deformation in rolling of flat product is modeling in ABAQUS and further developed to study the frictional effects on spread and bulge. To predict the magnitude of bulging , the rolling process is approximated by successive forging steps. The elongation or the average spread at each step from the previous calculations are u...

A simple model is developed that predicts the coefficient of rolling friction for an undriven laboratory cart on a track that is approximately independent of the mass loaded onto the cart and of the angle of inclination of the track. The model includes both deformation of the wheels/track and frictional torque at the axles/bearings. The concept of rolling friction is contrasted with the static ...
