14J. TomasFigure 2. Characteristic particle contact deformation. (c) Elastic–plastic compression [148]. Thedominant linear elastic–plastic deformation range between pressure levels <strong>of</strong> powder mechanics [4]is demonstrated here. If the maximum pressure in the contact center reaches the micro-yield strengthp max = p f at the yield point Y then the contact starts with plastic yielding which is intensified by mobileadsorption layers. Next, the combined elastic–plastic yield boundary <strong>of</strong> the partial plate–platecontact is achieved as given in Eq. (58). This displacement is expressed with the annular elastic A el(thickness r K,el ) and circular plastic A pl (radius r K,pl ) contact area, shown below panel c.
