Abstract Pressure distributions calculated in the simulation of rough contacts show high values and induce high stresses just beneath the surface. These stresses often exceed the yield strength of the material, therefore, a purely elastic contact model is restrictive. Plastic flow occurs and modifies the surface shape and consequently modifies the surface pressure.
This paper presents a numerical model for 3D-elastoplastic rough contact. It allows the determination of real pressure and permanent surface displacement (flattening of asperities) as well as residual stresses and plastic strains useful in fatigue analysis. The material is assumed to follow the More >
