When two objects come into contact, depending on the shape of the surfaces, there may be point or line contact. The contact force causes deformation and thus stresses in the material. If these material stresses are high, the material may fail. The material stresses in... by Jaap Vink | 22 Apr 2021 | Blog, Hertzian Contact
Up to and including HertzWin 3.2.0, all calculated results are for a static situation. The most important material stresses for a static situation are the maximum shear stress and the von Mises equivalent stress. The Von Mises equivalent stress is most often used to...

With the program HertzWin you can calculate Hertz point and line contacts. The influence of a tangential force can also be calculated. HertzWin is available online for free since March 2009. No approximation but the exact solution In older releases of HertzWin (before...
