A Self-Consistent Scheme for Elastic-Plastic Asperity Contact
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a generalized self-consistent scheme, or “three phase model”, is used to set up a micro-mechanics model for rough surface contact with randomly distributed asperities. The dimensionless average real pressure p is obtained as function of the ratio of the real contact area to the apparent contact area, 0 / A Ar . Both elastic and plastic materials are considered, and the influence of the plasticity of material on p is discussed. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional rough surface contact problems are considered. Keywords—contact mechanics, plastic deformation, self-consistent scheme.

A Finite Element Study of Elasto-plastic Hemispherical Contact
This work presents a finite element study of elasto-plastic hemispherical contact. The results are normalized such that they are valid for macro contacts (e.g., rolling element bearings) and micro contacts (e.g., asperity contact). The material is modeled as elastic-perfectly plastic. The numerical results are compared to other existing models of spherical contact, including the fully plastic c...
متن کاملA Finite Element Based Elastic-Plastic Model for the Contact of Rough Surfaces
An elastic-plastic model for contacting rough surfaces that is based on accurate Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of an elasticplastic single asperity contact is presented. The plasticity index Ψ is shown to be the main dimensionless parameter that affects the contact of rough surfaces. Below Ψ = 0.6 the contact problem is purely elastic and above Ψ = 8 it is mostly plastic. The mean real contact ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Determining Topography Parameters on Analyzing Elastic Contact Between Isotropic Rough Surfaces
The elastic contact between two computer generated isotropic rough surfaces is studied. First the surface topography parameters including the asperity density, mean summit radius, and standard deviation of asperity heights of the equivalent rough surface are determined using an 8-nearest neighbor summit identification scheme. Second, many cross sections of the equivalent rough surface are trace...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of single asperity contact
We present a series of molecular dynamics simulations of single asperity contact and deformation that occurs as two rough surfaces are brought together, loaded and then separated. We monitor the force between the two surfaces, the total potential energy, the Q6 order parameter, the effective minimum contact radius and the conductance (using the modified Sharvin equation). The deformation is obs...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Adhesion Model for Arbitrary Rough Surfaces
We present a 3D adhesion model based on the JKR theory applied locally for all contacting asperity couple and the calculations account the van der Waals interaction beside the externally applied force. Thus, equilibrium of the system is determined by an extremum in the free total energy and subsequently the contact and the adhesion parameters are computed for that particular position. The model...
