The indentation of flat surfaces deforming in the plastic regime by various geometries has been well studied. However, there is relatively little work investigating cylinders indenting plastically deforming surfaces. This work presents a simple solution to a cylindrical rigid frictionless punch indenting a half-space considering only perfectly plastic deformation. This is achieved using an adjusted slip line theory. In addition, volume conservation, pileup and sink-in are neglected, but the model can be corrected to account for it. The results agree very well with elastic-plastic finite element predictions for an example using typical steel properties. The agreement does diminish for very large deformations but is still within 5% at a contact radius to cylinder radius ratio of 0.78. A method to account for strain hardening is also proposed by using an effective yield strength.

In this paper, a method for modeling of elastic-plastic hardening materials under large deformations is proposed. In this model the generalized strain rate tensor is used. Such a tensor is obtained on the basis of the method which was introduced by the authors. Based on the generalized strain rate tensor, a flow rule, a Prager-type kinematic hardening equation and a kinematic decomposition is proposed and the governing equations for such materials are obtained. As an application, the governing equations for the simple shear problem are solved and some results are compared with those in the literature.
