A finite element analysis, for an elastic perfectly plastic sphere normally loaded by a rigid flat, is combined with an approximate analytical solution to evaluate the maximum tangential load (static friction) that can be supported by the spherical contact at the inception of sliding. Sliding inception is treated as a failure mechanism based on plastic yield rather than a Coulomb friction law with a certain friction coefficient. Two different failure modes are identified, either on the contact area or below it, depending on the elastic-plastic status of the normal preloading. A limiting normal preload is found above which the contact cannot support any additional tangential load. Simple analytical expressions for an internal static friction coefficient are presented for both the elastic and the elastic-plastic regimes.
