This paper mainly studied the contact characteristics of steel-rubber rollers. First, according to the dynamic mechanical experimental data of rubber, the hyperelastic-viscoelastic composite constitutive model was constructed to accurately describe the properties of rubber. Then, for the contact problem of steel-rubber rollers, the elastic modulus of rubber presents an instantaneous change due to the influence of rubber's viscoelasticity, so the Hertz contact theory was modified through the instantaneous elastic modulus. Next, a dimensionless parameter [Formula: see text] was constructed to judge the viscoelastic influence degree of rubber. Finally, based on modified contact theory and the dimensionless parameter [Formula: see text], the influence of compressive force and rolling speed on the contact characteristics of steel-rubber rollers was analyzed. The research in this paper is helpful to the analysis of dynamic contact problem of rollers structure and the development of contact theory.

A virtual material model of joint interfaces was established based on the Hertz contact theory and fractal theory, this model was improved by considering the influence of the elastic-plastic deformation of asperities and ameliorating the calculation methods of the elastic modulus. The simulation results of elastic-plastic considered and elastic-plastic unconsidered were compared, moreover, the finite element simulation results and experimental results were compared to fully explain the necessity of considering the influence of the elastic-plastic deformation and the the correctness of the method to calculate the elastic modulus. The research suggested that under a same load the elastic modulus of the model considering the influence of the elastic-plastic deformation was slightly larger than the un considering one, which means it could describe the characteristics of joint interfaces more accurately.

In this study a three-dimensional transient dynamic contact problem is solved, and a theorem relating the contact stress and displacement over an elliptic region is proved. Numerical results for the contact displacement-time variation clearly demonstrate the effect of inertia induced by the dynamic stress.

Using the time approximation method we obtain the existence of a weak solution for the dynamic contact problem with damping and a non-convex stored elastic energy function. On the contact boundary we assume the normal compliance law and the generalization of the Coulomb friction law which allows for non-monotone dependence of the friction force on the tangential velocity. The existence result is accompanied by two numerical examples, one of them showing lack of uniqueness for the numerical solution.
