Contact stresses/permanent deformation
Contact stresses/permanent deformation
(OP)
Hi,
I have been trying to find out how to calculate the distance a ball bearing has travelled into a flat surface due to permanent deformation.
I can calculate the indentation due to a given force but cant work out the indentation left after the force has been taken away.
The flat metal is made from 304steel and the force is 2000N. Bearing diameter is 7mm.
Thanks in advance.

Is the ball material tungsten carbide? It probably should be.
