A Finite Element Study of Elasto-Plastic Hemispherical Robert L. Jackson1 Contact Against a Rigid Flat Member, ASME This work presents a finite element study of elasto-plastic hemispherical contact. The Itzhak Green results are normalized such that they are valid for macro contacts (e.g., rolling element Fellow, ASME bearings) and micro contacts (e.g., asperity contact), although micro-scale surface char- acteristics such as grain boundaries are not considered. The material is modeled as George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical elastic-perfectly plastic. The numerical results are compared to other existing models of Engineering, spherical contact, including the fully plastic truncation model (often attributed to Abbott Georgia Institute of Technology, and Firestone) and the perfectly elastic case (known as the Hertz contact). This work finds Atlanta, GA 30332-0405 that the fully plastic average contact pressure, or hardness, commonly approximated to be e-mail: gt2433a@ a constant factor of about three times the yield strength, actually varies with the deformed contact geometry, which in turn is dependent upon the material properties (e.g., yield strength). The current work expands on previous works by including these effects and
