Effect of plasticity on dynamic impact in a journal-bearing system: A planar case

Plasticity is inevitable during contact with a high load, and thus should be considered when simulating high-load contact. Plasticity during non-conformal contact has been well studied. However, no contact law that considers plasticity during conformal contact has been developed, even though such ``plastic conformal contact'' commonly occurs in journal-bearing systems under high loads. Herein, we constructed a plastic Winkle model of plastic...
