A Lagrange Multiplier/Segment Procedure for Solution of Three-Dimensional Contact Problems
Abstract
A solution procedure for finite element analysis of three-dimensional contact conditions is presented. The area of contact can vary, frictional conditions are included using Coulomb's law of friction and static or dynamic conditions can be considered. Various sample solutions are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the solution algorithm. Keywords include: Contact Problem Algorithm, Finite Element Structural Analysis, Lagrange Multiplier Contact Forces, Multiplier/Segment Procedure, ADINA Finite Element Program, Frictional Sliding and Sticking Contact, Implicit Solution Technique, Hertz axisymmetric contact, and Longitudinal Impact of bars.
