flat beds, the linear element in contactfor a zero pressure becomes a surface of considerable width as the pressure increases, sincethe materials of both bed and roller are elastic. The law of the distribution of the stressfrom this small contact area over the cross-section of roller and plates is… … DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION. 275 intensity of this stress, too, is always far beyond what is ordinarily known as the elasticlimit. This limiting stress corresponds to the maximum distortion which will entirely dis-appear when the load is removed, or to the initial permanent set. This permanent set…
