ABSTRACT Steady state plastic flow of the ideal plastic half-space surface by sliding elliptical cylinder is numerically calculated with account of contact friction effect. Numerical solution of the plane strain hyperbolic differential equations with unknown contact pressure distribution is treated as nonlinear vector equation for the steady state plastic flow condition. Pronounced effect of the ellipse boundary curvature on the plastic flow mode is shown. Engineering application of the computer model is surface plastic deformation technology to improve wear and fatigue resistance of metal parts.
