A nonlinear finite element model is developed to predict the response of frictionless contact of isotropic, elastic nano-bodies incorporating the effect of surface energy. The boundary value problem is formulated based on the classical theory of linear elasticity of the bulk material, while the complete Gurtin–Murdoch constitutive relation is adopted to accommodate the effect of surface energy. The Lagrange multiplier approach is employed to enforce inequality contact constraints without any need of an appropriate value for the penalty parameter, where the contact forces are treated as independent variables. The proposed finite element model accounts for both advancing and receding contact problems. The output results are compared favorably with those published analytical solutions. The influence of surface energy and its size-dependency on the behavior of conformal and nonconformal conformal/nonconformal nano-contact systems is demonstrated by carrying out by analyzing three different contact problems.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.
