...Yang Zhao; Heng Liu; Nanshan Wang; Bowen Fan; Meng Li Purpose The anisotropic surfaces of viscoelastic materials play a role in sliding friction; the purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the anisotropic surfaces on contact area and the friction coefficient. Design/methodology...

...-dimensional flow characteristics occurring in seemingly two-dimensional flows. That is the case of the viscoelastic short-bearing. The planar Newtonian case was first studied, but because of the inlet and outlet boundary conditions it was necessary to consider the three-dimensional Newtonian case. There, due...

... to follow the idealized constitutive viscoelastic standard linear solid (SLS) model. Fractal geometry, through Cantor set theory, is utilized to model the roughness of the surface. Findings An asymptotic time series power law is obtained, which associates the creep load, the buck temperature...
