Numerical Analysis of Quasistatic Contact between Rubber Roller and Rigid Roller

Article Preview

Abstract:

A quasistatic and steady state contact problems of rubber roller and rigid roller is modeled by using a stress function in the form of series. The model is derived from the paper feed unit of duplicating machine. The point interpolation meshfree method (PIM) is applied to obtain the solution of the dual series equations resulting from the boundary condition. Stress and deformation for the rubber roller are obtained based on elasticity theory. Effects of rubber thickness and normal load are observed through the numerical examples. The observation show that the contact zone is changing with the normal load F and the rubber thickness has effect on the stress distribution. In addition, the study shows that the PIM method is an efficient and promising method for simulating the problem.
