An iterative procedure for finite-element stress analysis of frictional contact problems

摘要: Abstract A simple, efficient, versatile and easily adaptable, iterative finite-element technique is described for solving frictional contact problems. The method based on logical steps to establish the geometry regions of slip nonslip. Unlike previous techniques, approach can be extended readily multiple surfaces. scheme demonstrated by analyzing a mechanical joint in orthotropic wood. In this case, mixed coordinate systems are used enhance accuracy stresses near pin region. numerically computed values agree with those reported elsewhere.
