The finite element model with the implementation of a robust cyclic plasticity theory was used to simulate the elastic-plastic stresses for the partial slip (stick-slip) line rolling contact. Detailed rolling contact stresses and strains were obtained for up to 40 rolling passes. The partial slip condition greatly affects the residual stress in the rolling direction and the residual shear strain within a thin layer of material near the contact surface. The residual stress in the axial direction was not significantly influenced by the partial slip condition. An increase in friction coefficient drives the location of maximum shear strain to the contact surface. In addition, a comparison was made between the finite element results and the results obtained from an approximate method.
