A Finite Element Study of Elasto-plastic Hemispherical Contact

This work presents a finite element study of elasto-plastic hemispherical contact. The results are normalized such that they are valid for macro contacts (e.g., rolling element bearings) and micro contacts (e.g., asperity contact). The material is modeled as elastic-perfectly plastic. The numerical results are compared to other existing models of spherical contact, including the fully plastic c...

Finite Element Analysis of Bond for Reinforced Concrete Structures

A high-resolution finite element model is developed using the MSC.Marc software package to investigate local bond behavior and the modeling of this behavior. In the model, interaction between concrete and steel is treated geometrically as contact between two separate bodies. Concrete is modeled as a homogenous material. A multiple, fixed, smeared crack model is used to simulate response in tens...

Elasto-Plastic Constitutive Model for Finite Element Simulation of structural Adhesives

Considered by the automotive industry as a good solution to bond car body parts together, structural adhesives must be integrated in the early design process of vehicles, hence in the finite element analysis. A first difficulty when modeling structural adhesives comes from their complex mechanical pressure-dependent behaviour as well as their load-dependent strength. These aspects make them imp...
