Abstract: | The plastic deformation produced by pure, two dimensional, rolling contacts has been studied by subjecting 1100 aluminum disks
to repeated contacts with well-defined relative peak contact pressures in the range 2 ≤P
0/k
c
≤ 6.8. Two microstructural conditions are examined: as-received (warm worked) and annealed, displaying cyclic softening and
cyclic hardening, respectively. Measurements of the distortion of wire markers imbedded in the rims, microhardness values
of the plastically deformed layer, and changes in disk radius and width are reported. These are used to evaluate the plastic
circumferential, radial, and axial displacements of the rim surface and the depth of the plastically deformed layer. These
features are compared with the classical, elastic-quasi plastic analysis of rolling, and with recent elastic-plastic finite
element calculations. The results show that the rim deformation state approaches plane strain when the disk width-to-Hertzian
half contact width-ratioB/w ≥ 200. The presence of a solid lubricant has no detectable influence on the character of the plane strain deformation. The
measurements of the per cycle forward (circumferential) displacements for the two conditions are self-consistent and agree
with the finite element calculations when the resistance to plastic deformation is attributed to the instantaneous cyclic
yield stress, but not when the resistance is identified with the initial monotonie yield stress. At the same time, the extent
of the plastic zone is 5× greater than predicted by the analyses. These and other results can be rationalized by drawing on
the special features of the resistance to cyclic deformation. They support the view that the deformation produced by theN
th
rolling contact is governed by the shape of the stress-strain hysteresis loop after the corresponding number of stress-strain
cycles which depends on the cycle strain amplitude, degree of reversibility, and the strain path imposed by the contact loading
at different depths. |
