Dislocation model of localized plastic deformation initiated with a flat punch

We consider a classical contact mechanics problem, namely, the indentation of a ductile half-plane by a rigid flat punch (in plane strain), and revisit it using the dislocation mechanics approach. The dislocation nucleation and dislocation interaction beneath the indenter are examined. The threshold...
