IMPACT OF INDENTOR SLIDING VELOCITY AND LOADING REPETITION FACTOR ON SHEAR STRAIN AND STRUCTURE DISPERSION IN NANOSTRUCTURING BURNISHING

The article probes into a relationship of the shear strain intensity and the shear strain rate in the surface layer and the sliding velocity of a spherical indentor and its loading repetition factor. It brings forward an experimental procedure to evaluate the shear strain intensity and rate by analyzing the geometrical parameters of the bulge of plastically edged metal and the thickness of the shifted layer relative to different sliding velocities and feed rates
