Dentro deste contexto, o trabalho aqui apresentado segue dando continuidade à modelagem de mancais de elementos rolantes, neste caso esferas, anteriormente desenvolvido para contato puramente radial. O estudo da dinâmica de mancais de elementos rolantes e a compreensão de sua modelagem computacional permitem conhecer sua influência sobre o sistema completo. Será inserido o modelo de lubrificação Elastohidrodinâmica (EHD) no modelo dinâmico do mancal, permitindo obter parâmetros equivalentes de rigidez e amortecimento, para posterior caracterização do mancal, utilizando uma análise no domínio do tempo. Uma vez estimada a distribuição de forças, são calculados parâmetros de carga e lubrificação, bem como a geometria no contato, os quais são utilizados no modelo EHD. Este último contém a soluçãodas equações que descrevem o comportamento da região lubrificada, empregando o método numérico de multi-níveis. Desta forma, calcula-se a pressão no contato e a espessura de filme. Utiliza-se uma aproximação para as forças não lineares na região em que a relação entre força e deformação no contato tem comportamento aproximadamente linear. Nesta região, os parâmetros físicos de rigideze de amortecimento total do conjunto esferas, pista interna e pista externa são estimados, e também para cada uma das esferas, tendo em consideração a presença do contato angularnas esferas e a aplicação de forças nas direções axial e radial / Abstract: Considering the necessity of decrease design time, the use of computer models for simulation of components is an essential phase in the preliminary design of machinery and equipment and allows to evaluate design parameters to minimize physical tests on prototypes. Inside this context, the work presented here follows continuing the modeling of rolling element bearings, in this case balls, previously developed for pure radial contact.The dynamics study of the rolling element bearings and the understanding of their computer modeling allow us to know its influence on the complete system.The model for Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHD) is inserted in the dynamic model of the bearing, and this allows to obtain equivalent parameters of stiffness and damping, for further characterization of the bearing using a time domain analysis.After the estimated distribution of forces, lubrication and load parameters are calculated, as well as the geometry of the contact, which are used in EHD model.The latter contains the solution of equations that describe the behavior of lubricated region, using the numerical method of multilevel.Thus, the contact pressure and film thickness are calculated.It is used an approximation to the nonlinear forces in the region where the relation between force and deformation of the contact has approximately linear behavior.In this region, the physical parameters of stiffness and damping of the complete set spheres, inner raceway and outer raceway are estimated, and also, for each sphere is taking into account the presence of the angular contact of the spheres, and the application of forces in both axial and radial directions / Mestrado / Mecanica dos Sólidos e Projeto Mecanico / Mestra em Engenharia Mecânica

Today, nonhomogeneous materials are used in many technological applications. Nonhomogeneity can be introduced intentionally in order to improve the thermomechanical performance of material systems. The concept of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is an example of such an application. Nonhomogeneity can also be an intrinsic property of some of the natural materials such as natural soil. The main interest in this study is on the contact mechanics of nonhomogeneous surfaces. There is an extensive volume of literature on the contact mechanics of nonhomogeneous materials. In most of these studies, the elastic gradation is assumed to exist in depth direction. But, it is known that elastic gradation may also exist laterally. This may either occur naturally as in the case of natural soil or may be induced as a result of the applied processing technique as in the case of FGMs. The main objective in this study is therefore to examine the effect of the lateral nonhomogeneities on the contact stress distribution at the surface of an elastically graded material. In the model developed to examine this problem, a laterally graded surface is assumed to be in sliding contact with a rigid stamp of arbitrary profile. The problem is formulated using the theory of elasticity and reduced to a singular integral equation. The integral equation is solved numerically using a collocation approach. By carrying out parametric studies, the effects of the nonhomogeneity constants, coefficient of friction and stamp location on the contact stress distribution and on the required contact forces are studied.

Engineering assemblies are very frequently subject to fretting fatigue, which is a damage process that results when very small slip displacements arise at nominally stationary frictional interfaces. Fretting accelerates the initiation and early propagation of fatigue cracks, thereby causing significant reductions in the fatigue performance of many critical engineering components. A majority of the previous research on fretting fatigue has focused on incomplete (i.e. smooth-edged) contacts, while complete (i.e. sharp-edged) contacts have received less attention. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the theoretical understanding of complete contacts, especially when they are subject to fatigue conditions. This problem is addressed in two separate ways. First, because fretting failures almost invariably initiate from the edge of contact, a detailed understanding of the conditions in this region should enable more accurate assessments of fatigue performance to be made. Thus, an asymptotic analysis is presented, which provides an accurate description of the contact edge under many conditions. This is done by using the elasticity solution for a semi-infinite notch to represent the state of stress near the contact edge in an asymptotic sense. Attention is then placed on the fact that cyclically loaded frictional contacts tend toward a steady-state response in which less frictional slip (and energy dissipation) occurs than in the first few load cycles. To investigate this effect, a numerical sub-structuring procedure is described, which significantly reduces the number of degrees of freedom in finite element models of frictional contact. This reduced model is then used to calculate the shakedown limit, i.e. the amplitude of cyclic load above which frictional slip is guaranteed to persist in the steady state. The sensitivity of the steady-state solution to the initial residual displacement state is then investigated, and it is shown that initial conditions can have a large influence on the steady-state behaviour of complete contacts.
