- Abstract
In many contact situations the material behavior of one contact member strongly influences the force acting between the two bodies. Unfortunately standard friction models cannot reproduce all of these material effects at the contact layer and often continuum interface elements are used instead. These elements are intrinsically tied to the fixed grid and hence cannot be used in large sliding simulations. Due to the shortcomings of the standard contact formulations and of the interface elements a new type of a contact layer element is developed in this work. The advantages of this element are the direct implementation of continuum models into the contact formulation and the application to arbitrary large deformations. Showing a relation between continuum and contact kinematics based on the solid-shell concept the new contact element is at the end a natural extension of the standard contact formulations into 3D. Two examples show that the continuum behavior can be exactly reproduced at the contact surface even in large sliding situations using this contact layer element. For the discretization of the new contact element the Mortar method is chosen exemplary, but it can be combined with all kinds of contact formulations.
