The rolling/sliding contact of a hard cylinder on a viscoelastic layer is re-examined. The one-dimensional Maxwell model, with the addition of a parallel spring, is used to model the normal stiffness of the viscoelastic layer A solution for the pressure distribution is presented. It is shown that the maximum tractive force that the cylinder can sustain before complete sliding is a function of the sense and magnitude of the rolling velocity. Two regimes of loading are considered - constant cylinder normal force and constant cylinder indentation.

A theoretical and experimental study is made of turbulent radial flow between parallel disks with choked conditions at the channel inlet. Supersonic flow is found to exist for some distance downstream of the inlet to a point in the channel where a quasi-normal shock causes the flow to become subsonic. A numerical solution is obtained for the radial pressure distribution and the location of the shock region. Agreement with experiment is good as shown both by comparison with the pressure distribution and by flow visualization. When the square inlet corner was preceded by a chamfered section, the mass flows required to choke were increased and approached the one-dimensional predictions.

A model has been developed to investigate the effects of a rough elastic indenter in sliding contact with a viscoelastic layer bonded to an elastic semi-infinite plane. The viscoelastic layer is modeled as a one-dimensional Maxwell solid (small strain) while the substrate of the semi-infinite plane is modeled as a two-dimensional elastic half plane. The Fredholm integral equation of the second kind was obtained to determine the contact stresses. The results indicate that the viscoelastic properties of the layer and the velocity of the indenter significantly affect the contact pressure and internal stress distributions. The viscoelastic layer causes the pressure and internal stresses to become nonsymmetrical. High asperity densities reduce the amplitude of maximum shear stress at a fixed depth below the surface. Results are also presented for various coefficients of friction.

The relation between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation was analyzed, with authoritarianism measured using a three-dimensional scale. The implicit multidimensional structure (authoritarian submission, conventionalism, authoritarian aggression) of Altemeyer’s (1981, 1988) conceptualization of authoritarianism is inconsistent with its one-dimensional methodological operationalization. The dimensionality of authoritarianism was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 713 university students. As hypothesized, the three-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. Regression analyses revealed that only authoritarian aggression was related to social dominance orientation. That is, only intolerance of deviance was related to high social dominance, whereas submissiveness was not.

Abstract The contact pressure distribution and the rolling resistance of a running radial tire under load are fundamental properties of the tire construction, important to the steering performance of automobiles, as is well known. Many theoretical and experimental studies have been previously published on these tire properties. However, the relationships between tire performances in service and tire structural properties have not been clarified sufficiently due to analytical and experimental difficulties. In this paper, establishing a spring support ring model made of a composite belt ring and a Voigt type viscoelastic spring system of the sidewall and the tread rubber, we analyze the one-dimensional contact pressure distribution of a running tire at speeds of up to 60 km/h. The predicted distribution of the contact pressure under appropriate values of damping coefficients of rubber is shown to be in good agreement with experimental results. It is confirmed by this study that increasing velocity causes the pressure to rise at the leading edge of the contact patch, accompanied by the lowered pressure at the trailing edge, and further a slight movement of the contact area in the forward direction.

Adiabatic large polarons in anisotropic molecular crystals We study the large polaron whose motion is confined to a single chain in a system composed of the collection of parallel molecular chains embedded in threedimensional lattice. It is found that the interchain coupling has a significant impact on the large polaron characteristics. In particular, its radius is quite larger while its effective mass is considerably lighter than that estimated within the one-dimensional models. We believe that our findings should be taken into account for the proper understanding of the possible role of large polarons in the charge and energy transfer in quasi-one-dimensional substances.
