Abstract Additional attention is given to the somewhat subtle but extremely important difference between Coulomb friction and the apparently corresponding resistance to plastic deformation. It is shown that the limit theorems previously proved for assemblages of perfectly plastic bodies do not always apply when there is finite sliding friction. Theorems are developed which relate the limit loads with finite Coulomb friction to the extreme cases of zero friction and of complete attachment, and also to the case where the frictional interfaces are “cemented” together with a cohesionless soil.

The article deals with the elastic-plastic state of inhomogeneous array with a spherical cavity. Model is used thick-walled ball of an elastic-perfectly plastic material (Prandtl diagram). It is shown that in the inhomogeneous material, depending on the inhomogeneity functions describing the change of the modulus of elasticity and yield stress of soil plastic deformation may appear on both the inner and outer surface of the ball and inside it. Are found values of the limit loads, displacement diagrams are constructed in an array.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.

The present work deals with the computation of surface stresses and deformation in the presence of friction. The evaluation of the elastic-plastic contact is analyzed revealing three distinct stages that range from fully elastic through elastic-plastic to fully plastic contact interface. Several factors of sliding friction model are discussed: surface roughness, mechanical properties and contact load and areas that have strong effect on the friction force. The critical interference that marks the transition from elastic to elastic- plastic and plastic deformation is found out and its connection with plasticity index. A finite element program for determination contact analysis of the assembled details and due to details of deformation that arose a normal and tangencial stress is used.

A thin ring is crushed between two rigid planes. Due to plastic deformation the ring does not recover its original shape when the compression is removed. For an elastic-perfectly plastic flexural material, the ring undergoes two to five different stages. The mathematical problem is formulated and solved by exact numerical integration and accurate analytical approximations.

Materials used for the construction of ballistic shields are characterized by a variety of behaviours under the influence of external loads. Ballistic impact (by a bullet) in armour (ballistic shield) is an example of the phenomena that could be considered in the category of a dynamic load caused by the strike of the mass. Computer simulations are commonly used in such situations. It is especially important to adopt a proper model of the behaviour of the material. This paper presents the results obtained by simulating free 3D points and using the application developed by the authors for the purpose of this research. The made calculations include the translational motion and rotary motion of the projectile as well as the stiffness of the material, the damping of the material, friction at the points of contacting surfaces, viscous friction and plastic deformation (the material beyond the plastic yield point is perfectly plastic). The results of simulations were validated with experimental research.

Investigation of local plastic deformation between rough surfaces in mechanical components such as gears, camshaft and bearings is very important. Contact between real surfaces occurs at the summits of the highest asperities which vary in height and radius. The plastic deformation of the contact between two asperities was studied in this paper. Asperity contact was modelled as a contact between hemispheres. The commercial finite element software, ABAQUS, was employed to perform the numerical contact analysis of the elastic perfectly-plastic deforming hemispheres with the ratios of radii (R2/R1) from 1 to 7. Normal loads of 5000 N, 8000 N and 11000 N were applied to the frictionless contact of the hemispheres. It was shown that the plastic deformation ratio (ωp1/ωp2) decreases as the radii ratio increases. The higher normal load showed a lower plastic deformation ratio for high radii ratio. The results indicate that the radii ratio contributes to the severity of the plastic deformation and the total displacement of the contacting asperities.

A mechanical system sliding on a moving surface with Coulomb friction is a rich area for study. Despite much past work, there is still something to be gleaned by closed-form expressions for the system behavior. Consider a spring-mass-damper system (K, M, C) with deflection x, base moving in the +x direction at velocity V, sliding friction F, and sticking friction Fs. An initial condition of x0 at rest can be considered general because all possible motions will follow. Two dimensionless schemes are used. For the abstract, we focus on the scheme normalized by x0 with variable z = x/x0, τ = (ωnt, ωn = [K/M]1/2, ζ = c/[2(KM)1/2], ν̄ = V / (ωnx0), f = F/(Kx0), and fs = Fs/(Kx0). Since the solution is piecewise linear, this allows closed-form results. For this abstract, we consider C = 0, Fs = F. (Other cases are in the paper.) There are three critical ground speeds. The first, ν̄d, is when sticking first occurs (at z = f). At the second speed, ν̄c, sticking has moved to z = −f. Thereafter, the sticking point again increases, reaching z = f at the third speed, ν̄b. For higher ν̄, there is no sticking. In this paper, closed form expressions are presented for the three critical speeds:(1)ν¯d=[(1+3f)(1−5f)]12,ν¯c=[(1+f)(1−3f)]12,ν¯b=1−f These formulas are verified by numerical simulation. The insight is that there is a limited range of f for which certain critical points can be reached. Thus, 0 < f < 1/5 has different dynamics than 1/5 < f < 1/3. Formulas are also derived for the second maximum of z, which gives an indication of decay or growth of the system. For example, with f = fs and C = 0, the second maximum z with f < 1/5 is:(2)zmax=f+((1−f)2−ν¯2−4f)2+ν¯2ν¯d<ν¯<ν¯czmax=ν¯+fν¯c<ν¯<ν¯bzmax=1ν¯>ν¯c Formulas will also be given for the times at which the maximum occurs and the times at which a transition occurs from static to sliding for all cases.

In this paper, a method for determining limit loads in the components or structures by incorporating strain hardening effects is presented. This has been done by including a certain amount of the strain hardening into limit load analysis, which normally idealizes the material to be elastic perfectly plastic. Typical strain hardening curves such as bilinear hardening and Ramberg–Osgood material models are investigated. This paper also focuses on the plastic reference volume correction concept to determine the active volume participating in plastic collapse. The reference volume concept in combination with mα-tangent method is used to estimate lower-bound limit loads of different components. Lower-bound limit loads obtained compare well with the nonlinear finite element analysis results for several typical configurations with/without crack.
