description Various mechanical parts come into high-load rolling and sliding contact at the contact surface. Even with technological advancements, mechanical failures still occur. Rolling-sliding mechanical contact issues are the primary cause of over 90 % of surface and subsurface metallic failures and they are only becoming worse. Using discretised continuum 2D finite element methods (FEM), this research investigates the parametric contact effect of a steel twin disc system subjected to rolling-sliding contact at varied surface friction and comprehensive load condition. The equivalent von Mises stress distribution, contact pressure distribution and shift position of maximum subsurface stress on the contour region are all influenced by changes in compressive load and coefficient of friction, according to a numerical surface-to-surface contact simulation performed with Abaqus at mean Hertzian pressure. The maximal equivalent stress, for a given load, reaches a peak in the subsurface and moves farther away from the surface when the coefficient of friction decreases and comes close to the contact surface when the coefficient of friction increases. Consistency is shown by the analytical and numerical results.
