... is the mean value of the inner and outer radii of the contact area under the bolt head and nut, is used. In this paper, contact mechanics analysis is used to determine the real contact pressure distribution between the bolt head and nut and the joint surface. Based on the pressure distribution, the effective...

... distribution, especially in fitting the upper tail end of data. Moreover, the stone surface characteristics are nearly constant throughout stone life suggesting that superfinishing is a self-dressing process. This stone surface geometry is used to develop a contact mechanics model of the superfinishing process...
