Mechanics of Contact with Application to Brake Squeal and Axially Moving Media

这项建议涉及柔性结构的研究，如磁盘断裂、磁带驱动器和计算机硬盘，其机械行为受摩擦接触条件的影响很大。在拟议的研究中，特别感兴趣的是对新的摩擦定律(包括磨损)的分析建模和计算实现，以研究尖叫和颤振等振动现象，这些现象关键取决于材料界面上的建模。

This proposal concerns the study of flexible structures, such as disk breaks, magnetic tape drives and computer hard disks, whose mechanical behavior is significantly affected by frictional contact conditions. Of specific interest in the proposed research is the analytical modeling and computational implementation of novel friction laws (including wear) for the study of vibratory phenoomena such as squealing and chattering, which depend crucially on the modeling on the material interfaces.
