Thermomechanical contact-a rigorous but simple numerical approach

authored by

Peter Wriggers, G. Zavarise

Abstract

A contact element which deals with mechanical and thermal fields is presented. The geometrically linear formulation leads to an algorithm which is on the one hand very simple to code, but on the other hand very efficient and yields deep insight into the real physical behaviour of contact conductance. The presented formulation permits the addition of the contact algorithm to any finite element code.
