The MESYS Hertz Calculation (Version 06/2024) calculates the Hertzian stresses and subsurface stresses for point or line contact.
The following results can be found in the report:
•Major half axis of contact ellipsis a
•Minor half axis of contact ellipsis b
•Approach of both bodies
•Contact stiffness R
•Hertzian stress
•Maximal shear stress
•Maximal octahedral shear stress
•Depth for max. shear stress
•Depth for max. octahedral shear stress
•Equivalent stress (Tresca)
•Equivalent stress (Mises)
In addition to the report, the results are shown in several graphics. Report and user interface are both available in metric or US customary units. Supported languages for user interface and report are English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
