Abstract

In this thesis we derive an analytical model of the deformation of an elastic half-space caused by a cylindrical roller. The roller is considered rigid, and is forced into the half-space and rolls across its surface, with contact modelled by Coulomb friction. In general, portions of the surface of the roller in contact with the half-space may slip across the surface of the half-space, or may stick to it. In this thesis, we consider the contact surface to have a central sticking region as well as a simplifying regime where the entire contact surface is fully slipping. This results in two mixed boundary value problem, which are formulated into a 4_4 matrix Wiener{Hopf problem for the stick-slip regime and a 2_2 matrix Wiener{Hopf problem for the full-slip regime. The exponential factors in the Wiener{Hopf matrix allows a solution by following the iterative method of Priddin, Kisil, and Ayton (Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. A 378, p. 20190241, 2020) which is implemented numerically by computing Cauchy transforms using a spectral method following Slevinsky and Olver (J. Comput. Phys. 332, pp. 290{315, 2017). The limits of the contact region and stick-slip transitions are located a posteriori by applying an free-boundary method based on the secant method. The solution is illustrated with several examples, and the frictional regimes are analysed.
