...Mohammed Diany; Abdel-Hakim Bouzid The long term tightness performance of stuffing-box packings, used in valves, is conditioned by the capacity of its sealing material to maintain a contact pressure to a predetermined minimal threshold value. Due to the creep, this contact pressure decreases...

...M. Gonzalez-Valadez; R. S. Dwyer-Joyce The asperity contact regions in static contact are subjected to very high stress. Deformation is plastic and the material can suffer localized creep that is not usually observed at conventional stress levels. Creep of the asperity contacts causes an increase...

...Andreas Goedecke; Randolf Mock A set of finite element simulations was performed to analyze the creep behavior of an elastic–perfectly plastic hemisphere in contact with a rigid flat. This study focuses on the time-dependent stress relaxation of a fully plastic asperity. Assuming a Garofalo...

...A. Ovcharenko; G. Halperin; I Etsion The creep of a polymer sphere contacting a rigid flat under a constant normal load is investigated experimentally. An optical technique is used to observe in situ the evolution of the contact area while the increase of contact interference is measured...

..., a local-nonlinear nonclassical friction model is adopted to model the friction at the contact interface. This eliminates the difficulties that arise with the application of the classical Coulomb’s law. On the other hand, the Wiechert model, as an effective model capable of describing both creep...

... viscoelastic constitutive law, the standard linear solid (SLS) law. The model aims at studying the normal compliance (approach) of the punch surface, which will be assumed to be quasistatic, as a function of the applied creep load. The roughness of the punch surface is assumed to be fractal in nature...

... creep. Differences between initial and final profiles were attributed to wear of the UHMWPE. It was found that the largest wear depth in the lubricated tests occurred near the ends of the oscillatory contact area, while dry (unlubricated) tests of the same materials showed a peak wear depth near...

... contact problem is obtained. The objective of this paper is to develop an incremental adaptive computational model capable of handling quasistatic viscoelastic frictionless contact problems. The Wiechert model, as an effective model capable of describing both creep and relaxation phenomena, is adopted...

... mechanisms, and microstructure of UHMWPE. The fundamental wear micromechanisms of unmodified and crosslinked UHMWPE are interpreted in the context of coefficient of friction, wear factor, creep, adhesion force, and microstructure results. Efforts to eliminate wear of UHMWPE have resulted in numerous...
