About this document
Elastic and Plastic Contact Mechanics by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the different types of contact between solids - elastic, elastoplastic, and plastic. Elastic contact occurs when the applied load does not exceed the yield strength of the material. In elastoplastic contact, the contact area experiences plastic deformation surrounded by elastically deformed material. Plastic contact occurs when the contact pressure completely exceeds the yield strength, resulting in a uniform pressure distribution in the area.
