This study employs finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate sliding contact and investigate the frictional behavior between fiber-reinforced polymer composites and a rigid parabolic cylinder. Fiber-reinforced composites are widely used in engineering applications due to their exceptional mechanical properties. Understanding the frictional interactions in such materials is crucial for optimizing performance and durability. The FEA model accounts for material properties, contact conditions, and loading parameters to provide insights into the frictional response. Results from this analysis contribute to the advancement of materials engineering and manufacturing processes, particularly in scenarios where composite materials encounter sliding contact.
In the article a one-boundary parabolic problem on determining moisture of raw cotton in a drum dryer is solved. Numerical results of the considered problem are taken on the method of Bubnov-Galerkin, they are compared with the experimental data. It is shown that the suggested mathematical model and its numerical algorithm adequately describe the process of drying of raw cotton. The stability of the approximate solution is set.
