Subloading-friction model with saturation of tangential contact stress

Abstract The incorporation of the saturation tangential contact stress with increase normal is required for analysis friction phenomenon solids and structures subjected to a high stress, which cannot be described by Coulomb condition, in increases linearly stress. In this article, subloading-friction model, capable describing smooth elastic—plastic transition, static—kinetic recovery static during cease sliding, extended describe property. Further, some numerical examples are shown, validity present model will verified simulation test data on linear sliding metals.
