β¦ Synopsis
In the present work a non-linear wear model for the contact between a cylinder rolling over a periodically varying surface is derived. The model is a pure contact model where the dynamics of cylinder and surface are neglected. With the aid of the derived model it can be shown, that even if the normal force, the traction and the creep are held constant, corrugation will evolve due to the non-linearities of the contact mechanics. The model furthermore predicts the critical wave lengths for which the corrugation grows, and for which an initial corrugation is levelled out. Finally it is shown that the amplitude of the corrugation grows exponentially with a growth rate that for a given corrugation can be determined analytically.

## Abstract We consider the blowup of solutions of the initial boundary value problem for a class of nonβlinear evolution equations with nonβlinear damping and source terms. By using the energy compensation method, we prove that when __p__>max{__m__, __Ξ±__}, where __m__, __Ξ±__ and __p__ are nonβneg
The transient response of a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator with a slow-variant natural frequency and a small non-linear damping is under consideration. The damping is modelled as a sum of elementary power functions with respect to the system velocity. The passage through a resonance which is in
