When two elastic three-dimensional bodies of specified radii come into contact, Hertzian forces at the interface result in the formation of an elliptical contact area. The rotation of one body relative to the other about an axis normal to the contact induces a nonlinear torque due to the progression of sliding in the contact interface. Using finite element analysis, a relationship describing torsional compliance with slip is presented for two elastic bodies with an elliptic contact interface under pure twist. The effect of changing material and geometric parameters is studied, and the relationships between torque generation and angle are defined with respect to these nondimensionalized parameters.

A variational formulation is presented for the nonlinear finite element analysis of general planar mechanisms comprising assemblages of elastic bodies connected by revolute or sliding joints. A geometrically nonlinear theory is developed to describe the elastic behavior in the axial and flexural modes, and the model for the dynamical behavior includes inertial coupling terms linking the rigid-body and elastic kinematic motions. The formulation developed herein is employed to predict the elastodynamic response of experimental four bar linkages and slider crank mechanisms.
