This paper gives a review of mathematical results of existence and uniqueness of solutions to problems of linear elasticity involving friction. Static, steady sliding and quasi-static problems are ...

Consider the block shown above supported by feet at A and B that is at rest on a rough floor. A horizontal force P is applied to the right on the block. As the magnitude of P is increased slowly, two ...

To gain more confidence with FEA, it’s a good idea to first solve simple problems with pencil and paper. Many less-experienced users of finite-element-analysis (FEA) software often have no clue if the ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Friction is a force that exists when two surfaces rub up against each other. For example, this cup on ...
