Abstract

It is necessary to examine the contact stresses developed between the contacting bodies. The contact stress depends on the material property of the contact bodies,clearance between them and load acting on it. The combination of contacting materials and contact conditions are critical. The effect of clearance and load on the contact conditions of cylindrical conformal contact is examined for same and varies values of Young’s modulus of the two contacting bodies. Finite element analysis is used to study cylindrical conformal contacts with the models and is validated by comparison with known analytical solutions. These results can be applied to any problem of conformal contact in nature such as actuators, hip-joint, piston barrel, cylinder block and the piston ball, slipper seat of a water-lubricated axial piston pump and for solid structural bearing with shaft.
