The cross-section of the half-space in the ¼ FE model is 100x100.図 2. Model Details
Analytical Results:
The analytical solutions are provided by Popov, 2010. The derivation of the
analytical solution is beyond the technical scope of this document. Some key
variables of the analytical solution are as follows:
The contact area is calculated as:
Where,
Radius of the sphere.
Depth of indentation.
The applied force is calculated as:
Where,
Young's modulus.
Poisson's ratio.
The maximum contact pressure/stress is calculated as:
