Edge Pressures Obtained Using FEM and Half-Space: A Study of Truncated Contact Ellipses

In rolling or gear contacts, truncation of the contact ellipse can occur, for example, when an undercut extends into the contact area. For an elastic calculation approach, the edge constitutes a mathematical singularity, which is revealed by a theoretically infinitely high pressure peak. However, wh...
