Description

Explore the complex physics of solid body interaction with Contact Mechanics by Cambridge University Press. This academic treatise focuses on the stresses and deformation occurring when solid bodies touch along curved surfaces, whether at a single point or along a line. Professor Johnson provides a comprehensive historical review of contact stress theory, tracing developments from H. Hertz's original work in 1882 to modern applications. The text examines practical engineering examples, such as gear wheel teeth and the contact between a railway wheel and rail. By incorporating the influence of friction and topographical surface roughness into the theory, this book offers a detailed look at how these factors affect contact mechanics in real-world scenarios.

Key Features
