Mechanics of unloading of a rough surfaces pre-loaded joint

In this paper we study the problem of the contact characteristics changing on a decrease of the load applied to the preloaded joint of roughness surfaces. The penetration of a rigid sphere (indenter) into the elastic hardenable half-space is considered originally. The elastic crater restoring by unl...
