Abstract: The authors thank the reviewers' (Dr. Jackson and Dr. Green) interest in the paper arising several issues for discussion. We agree with the reviewers that even in the fully plastic regime ...

Abstract: In this paper we report the experimental investigation to evaluate the published models for the contact of a deformable sphere against a hard flat in the fully plastic contact regime. A new ...

Abstract: In this paper, a theoretical and experimental investigation is presented to study the contact behavior of the plastic contact of deterministic rough surfaces. Analyses exclude bulk deformation ...
