The objective of this work is to study the contact stresses and plastic strains obtained as a consequence of the application of normal load together with tangential displacement with different friction values of a rigid indenter to an aluminum specimen. The simulation, conducted through the Finite Elements Method (FEM), using the software ABAQUS, was applied to evaluate the stress and strain fields. The phenomenon was simulated with a two-dimensional mesh, assuming a plane strain condition. The normal load was increased progressively (0-50 N) as a function of the displacement. The results were obtained for different values of the coefficient of friction between the rigid indenter and the aluminum with elastic-plastic behavior. The results allow the correlation between the contact loads and the elasticplastic behavior of materials subjected to certain types of wear tests. Some results of the literature were verified, such as the increase of the stresses and strains with the increase of the coefficient of friction.
