...: James R. Barber. 18 03 2013 20 09 2013 In this investigation, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed to study subsurface initiated spalling observed in rolling line contact of tribo components such as bearings. An elastic–kinematic hardening–plastic...

...Thibaut Chaise; Daniel Nélias What is often referred to as a Hertzian contact can undergo plasticity either at the macroscale, due to an accidental overload, or at an asperity scale, due to the presence of surface defects and/or roughness. An elastic solution does not explicitly consider...

...H. Eid; N. Joshi; N. E. McGruer; G. G. Adams A finite element model of a layered hemisphere contacting a rigid flat, which includes the effect of adhesion, is developed. In this analysis elastic-plastic material properties were used for each of the materials comprising the layered hemisphere...

The proposed approach is not specific to case hardened steels and can be used to determine the subsurface hardness gradient for any plastically graded material (PGM...

We observe a fully plastic contact condition at these points. Finite element results for the contact between an ellipsoid and a rigid plane and between two...

... to enable an elegant quantitative solution of the basic problem of presliding between contacting bodies, may be nonphysical. An alternative approach to the same problem that is based on treating sliding inception as a failure mode involving material plastic yield is discussed. This alternative approach...

Further, it is shown that the simplification of modeling a microcontact as an equivalent square uniform heat source to simplify the calculation of the maximum temperature is justified in the fully plastic regime. The partition is calculated by setting...

Each force component comprises elastic and plastic terms, which upon statistical summation yields the force component for the elastic and plastic forces...
