... Green’s functions for thermoelastic displacement. In general, the boundary element method (BEM) can be applied with this framework to finite geometry problems of steady-state thermal-mechanical contact. Here, example calculations are performed for counterformal contact problems, which can be modeled...

...Qin Zhu, Associate Professor; W. J. Zhang, Mem. ASME, Associate Professor This paper presents a study which aims at developing a numerical procedure based on the boundary element method (BEM) to compute performance of a Spiral Grooved Thrust (SGT) oil bearing with varying groove depth. The SGT oil...
