Elastoplastic contact mechanics investigates the behaviour of materials when subjected to contact forces that induce both elastic (recoverable) and plastic (permanent) deformations. This field ...

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have emerged as a pivotal class of engineered materials owing to their continuously varying properties, which enable superior stress distribution and tailored ...
