Summary
The influence of inertia forces on steady-state rolling contact between two elastic cylinders is investigated. It is assumed that the cylinders consist of the same material. The contact problem is dealt with analytically based on the two-dimensional constitutive relations which are derived by considering dynamic effects of moving loads on the surface of a half-space. Dynamic effects are found to be negligible for contact problems concerning practical engineering applications.
