... finite element model coupled with a singular integral equation solver and combined with bulk stress values to obtain the total stress gradient at the edge of contact. This stress gradient is applied to the crack growth life prediction of a mode I fretting fatigue crack. A probabilistic model...

... publications dealing with such problems. Hansen et al. ( 1 ) used an incompressible, viscous free-surface flow analysis of a film on a rotating cylinder using an integral-equation formulation applied to the Stokes approximation of the Navier–Stokes equations. Their results of free-surface profiles and free...
