Abstract

An elastic-plastic contact (EPC) solution and code is developed using a modified semi-analytical method. The indentation tests with different hardening behavior are simulated by using the developed EPC code. The distributions of contact pressure, residual stress and plastic strain are obtained and compared with the results of the finite element method models without hardening. Some techniques, such as fast Fourier transform and fast convergence method, are used to increase the computation speed.
