Study of the Area of Local Elastoplastic Contact upon Relative Sliding of Two Elastic Bodies Bounded with Nonlinear Surfaces
A solution of the elastoplastic contact problem of relative sliding of two elastic bodies bounded with nonlinear surfaces is presented. It is shown that mathematical modeling using variable parameters of elasticity provides determination of the law of changing geometric characteristics of the contact area in different conditions of contact interaction of bodies. The developed mathematical model of contact interaction adequately reflects the physical nature of the process of elastoplastic strain of the counterbody by sliding indenter.
