Abstract
This work deals with the determination of contact stress distribution during symmetrical rolling
processes using the finite element method ( FEM).
The results give a clear idea for the type of distribution of the normal and shear stresses along the
arc of contact , for the rollers with a radial depth ratio (r/R) equal to ( 1,0.7, 0.4) .
A study ot the deformation induced in the region of maximum shear stress together with the
location of stress concentration and the maximum stress was achieved.
