Contact between Beams and Shells

authored by

Peter Wriggers

Abstract

The contact between beams and shells often occurs in engineering analysis. This is true when a pipe — modeled as beam — impacts a shell structure or when a ball hits a tennis racket. In this contribution the main general relations are derived. This includes the theoretical formulation for finite deformations and the treatment of frictional contact laws. Based on these equations the finite element formulation for the beam-shell contact is derived and the associated matrices arepresented.
