Abstract:A contact mechanical model is presented where both metal bodies can deform by discrete dislocation plasticity. The model intends to improve on previous dislocation dynamics models of contact, where only a plastically deformable body was considered, flattened by a rigid platen. The effect of the rigid platen was mimicked through boundary conditions acting on the deformable body. While the formulation is general, the simulations presented here are only performed for contact between a plastically deforming body w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
