Tribology

dimensionless index combining hardness, elastic modulus and asperity roughness that predicts whether rough-surface contact is elastic or plastic.

In tribology, plasticity index refers to dimensionless index combining hardness, elastic modulus and asperity roughness that predicts whether rough-surface contact is elastic or plastic. This meaning comes from Greenwood (1966) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences.[1]
