Thermoelastic Rolling Contact Problem of an FGM Layered Elastic Solid

Abstract:

This study focuses on the thermo-elastic rolling contact problem of a graded coating/substrate system. The problem is formulated under the plane thermoelasticity framework. Assuming an exponential variation of the shear modulus within the coating, the governing singular integral equations are extracted by means of the Fourier transform. The solution to problem is provided via the Gauss-Chebyshev integration method. The sensitivity of the contact stresses as well as the surface temperature rise to the stiffness ratio, the coating thickness and the non-dimensional speed is investigated. The results indicate that the thermal expansion ratio substantially affects the contact stresses. Also, the softening coatings will result in maximum surface temperature rise. The coating thickness can alter the surface temperature rise such that an increase of the coating by a factor of 1.6 may result in 50% reduction of the maximum surface temperature.
