Analytical Elastostatic Contact Mechanics of Highly-Loaded Contacts of Varying Conformity

In applications requiring high load carrying capacity, conforming contacting pairs with a relatively large contact footprint are used. These include circular arc, Novikov, and Wildhaber gears found, for example, in helicopter rotors. Closely conforming contacts also occur in many natural endo-articu...
