ANALYTICALLY FORMULA TO APPRECIATE THE CONTACT LOAD FOR TRANSITION PROCESS FROM ELASTIC TO PLASTIC
Abstract
This paper intents to establish some simply analytical relations used to describe the limit load in the ball – flat surface point contact. The mathematical model takes into account the Brinell surface hardness. All these mathematical formulas assure the transition continuity between elastic and elastic-plastic phenomenon.
