The Impact

Elastic-plastic deformation analysis of the deformable sphere and the rigid plane was studied using the finite element software,this paper was focused on the impact of the friction effects on the deformation of the elastic-plastic deformation under considering the material strain stiffening properties,studies have shown that，the strain stiffening feature increases the contact load while reducing the contact area，the friction effect reduce both the contact load and contact area during elastic-plastic deformation process of the deformable sphere with increasing contact interference.

Von Mises

The determination of the elastoplastic deformation regime arising at the microcontact of a deformable ellipsoid and a rigid smooth flat was the main purpose of this study. One-eighth of an ellipsoid and a flat plate were taken as the contact bodies in the finite element analysis, and a mesh scheme of multisize elements was applied. Two observed phenomena regarding the contact pressures and the equivalent von Mises stresses formed at the contact area are given in order to identify the inception of the fully plastic deformation regime of an ellipsoid with an ellipticity ke. If the ellipticity (k) of an elliptical contact area is defined as the length ratio of the minor axis to the major axis, it is asymptotic to the ke value when the interference is sufficiently increased, irrespective of the ke value. The dimensionless interference regime associated with the elastoplastic deformation regime is narrowed by increasing the ellipticity of the ellipsoid (ke). Significant differences in the microcontact parameters such as the contact pressure, the contact area, and the contact load were found to be a function of the interference and the ke parameter of an ellipsoid. The interferences corresponding to the inceptions of the elastoplastic and fully plastic deformation regimes are both increased if the ke value is lowered. The interference, the contact area, and the contact load predicted by the present model for the behavior demonstrated at the inception of the elastoplastic deformation regime are lower than those obtained from the Horng model (Horng, J. H., 1998, “An Elliptical Elastic-Plastic Asperity Microcontact Model for Rough Surfaces,” ASME J. Tribol., 120, pp. 82–88) and the Jeng-Wang model (Jeng, Y. R., and Wang, P. Y., 2003, “An Elliptical Microcontact Model Considering Elastic, Elastoplastic, and Plastic Deformation,” ASME J. Tribol., 125, pp. 232–240). Big differences in the results of the average contact pressure, the contact area, and the contact load among the above microcontact models are discussed. The discrepancies are also explained from the developments of these models and boundary conditions set for the elastoplastic deformation regime.

ABSTRACTThe elastic-plastic microcontact model of a sphere in contact with a flat plate is developed in the present study to investigate the effect of surface roughness on the total contact area and contact load. From the study done by the finite element method, the dimensionless asperity contact area, average contact pressure, and contact load in the elastoplastic regime are assumed to be a power form as a function of dimensionless interference (δ/δec). The coefficients and exponents of the power form expressions can be determined by the boundary conditions set at the two ends of the elastoplastic deformation regime. The contact pressures evaluated by the present model are compared with those predicted by the Hertz theory, without considering the surface roughness and the reported model, including the roughness effect, but only manipulating in the elastic regime. The area of non-zero contact pressure is enlarged if the surface roughness is considered in the microcontact behavior. The maximum contact pressure is lowered by the presence of surface roughness if the contact load is fixed. Under a normal load, both the contact pressure and the contact area are elevated by raising the plasticity index for the surface of the same surface roughness.

Aeolian vibrations represent a threat to the integrity of electrical transmission lines. The fretting fatigue of conductors is thus a major concern. The modelization of the contact conditions at critical points is an important tool in assessing the life of conductors. Treillis points around the last point of contact between the conductor and the pieces of equipment are such critical points. 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 wires at different angles are compared with an elastic-plastic microcontact model for elliptical contact areas. These numerical results are then compared with experimental ones for the contact between two wires of a conductor (ACSR Bersfort), showing a very similar relationship between the contact force and the observed contact area. We have a good correlation between the microcontact model and the finite elements ones in the fully plastic contact regime on both the contact area and the contact force for a given interference between bodies. The use of the elastic-plastic microcontact model for elliptical contacts presented in this paper proves to be a strong tool in getting a better understanding of the mechanical behavior at those critical points.

Roll Bite

The main issue in cold rolling is the control of rolling chatter, the deformation of the metal sheet roll-bite is ideally homogeneous and elastic-plastic. In addition, only the vertical interactions of the work roll and the roll-bite are considered. The sheet force resulted from the elastic-plastic deformation of the roll-bite is established to be the dominant factor affecting the dynamic response of the work roll. Although the developed rolling system is highly nonlinear, however, the induced instability and chatter in response to various types of sheet force excitations are either modal excitation or resonance-like beating, both of which are characteristically linear. This article establishes the fundamental knowledge base required for the understanding of the characteristics and mechanism of the third and the fifth octave rolling chatters, and thus provides the essential basis for effective control of rolling instability and chatter-free roll mill design.
