Contact mechanics III

Edición de la obra Contact mechanics III

Contact mechanics is generally a study of load transfer in mechanical assemblies and has applications in many areas of engineering. The nature of contact interaction between two contacting bodies is inherently non-linear and the solution is rarely straightforward. The science of contact is of great importance, but in certain areas it is still not well understood due to the complex nature of the problem. This book consists of papers presented at the Third International Conference on Contact Mechanics, which took place in July, 1997 in Madrid, Spain and covers the subject areas of Mechanical Models, Numerical Aspects, Engineering Applications and Mathematical Models.
