Abstract
This paper includes a dimensionless treatment of the Hertz contact problem in the elastoplastic range, assuming the material in the bodies involved to be linear elastic and linear strain hardening. The bodies treated in this paper are assumed to be axisymmetric. Based upon the theoretical considerations in this work conversion formulas for engineering use are presented. The use of these formulas makes it possible to convert results from elastic plastic contact analysis for different yield stress and geometries. This will considerably reduce the number of calculations needed.
