Influence of the 6061 Aluminium Alloy Thermo-Viscoplastic Behaviour on the Load-Area Relation of a Contact
The contact between solids in metal-forming operations often involves temperature-dependent viscoplasticity of the workpiece. In order to estimate the real contact area in such contexts, both the topography and the deformation behaviour should be taken into account. In this work, a deterministic app...

| description | The contact between solids in metal-forming operations often involves temperature-dependent viscoplasticity of the workpiece. In order to estimate the real contact area in such contexts, both the topography and the deformation behaviour should be taken into account. In this work, a deterministic approach is used to represent asperities in appropriately shaped quadratic surfaces. Such geometries are implemented in indentation finite element simulations, in which the indented material has thermo-viscoplastic properties. By creating a database of simulation data, investigations in terms of contact load and area for the specifically shaped asperities allow for an analysis on the influence of the material properties on the load–area relation of the contact. The temperature and viscoplasticity greatly define how much load is supported by a substrate due to an indenting asperity, but the description of the deformation behaviour at small values of strain and strain rate is also relevant. The pile-up and sink-in regions are very dependent on the thermo-viscoplastic conditions and material model, which consequently affect the real contact area calculation. The interplay between carried load and contact area of a full surface analysis indicates the role that different sized asperities play in the contact under different thermomechanical conditions. |
