Approach to solving the problem of mathematical modeling of the contour area of spots of contact of elastic wheels interacting with a solid flat support
The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between the load capacity and the contour area of the contact spots of various types of elastic wheels. The calculated universal dependences are obtained for determining the values of the contour areas of various elastic wheels interacting with a solid flat support. Dependencies are applicable for mathematical modeling of friction in contact and the study of the strength and durability of solid supports.
