Hertzian contact theory on sin and cosine plane

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the applicability of Hertzian contact theory to a simulation involving a two-dimensional rolling disk on an elastic sine/cosine plane. The focus is on theoretical considerations and definitions related to the sine/cosine plane.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant is conducting a simulation of a rolling disk on an elastic sine/cosine plane and questions the applicability of Hertzian contact theory.
  • Another participant requests a definition or description of the sine/cosine plane to facilitate a more useful discussion.
  • A participant provides a visual reference to clarify the concept of the elastic cosine surface and the solid disk.
  • One participant expresses confidence in the applicability of Hertz's theory to the scenario presented.
  • A later reply suggests that the matter is settled based on the previous agreement.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

While one participant expresses confidence in the applicability of Hertz's theory, the discussion lacks a thorough exploration of the sine/cosine plane definition, indicating that some aspects remain unresolved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not provide a clear definition of the sine/cosine plane, which may limit the understanding of the applicability of Hertzian contact theory in this context.

Hello guys, i`m currently making simulation of 2 dimension rolling disk on elastic sin/cosine plane. I`m just wondering if the theory applicable.

What is a sin/cosine plane? We need a definition/description here before there can be a useful answer.
 
so sorry, i forgot to add the figure

something like this, but the cos surface is elastic and the disk is solid object.

I cannot see any reason to doubt the applicability of Hertz' theory here.
