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...
