A Domain Decomposition Algorithm for Contact Problems: Analysis and Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with an iterative method for numerical solving frictionless contact problems for two elastic bodies. Each iterative step consists of a Dirichlet problem for the one body, a contact problem for the other one and two Neumann problems to coordinate contact stresses. Convergence is proved by the Banach fixed point theorem in both continuous and discrete case. Numerical experiments indicate scalability of the algorithm for some choices of the relaxation parameter.

متن کاملA domain decomposition algorithm for contact problems with Coulomb’s friction
Contact problems of elasticity are used in many fields of science and engineering, especially in structural mechanics, geology and biomecanics. Many numerical procedures solving contact problems have been proposed in the engineering literature. They are based on standard discretization techniques for partial differential equations in combination with a special implementation of non-linear conta...
متن کاملA Boundary Elements and Particular Integrals Implementation for Thermoelastic Stress Analysis
A formulation and an implementation of two-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) analysis for steady state, uncoupled thermoelastic problems is presented. This approach differs from other treatments of thermal loads in BEM analysis in which the domain integrals due to the thermal gradients are to be incorporated in the analysis via particular-integrals. Thus unlike Finite Elements or Field ...
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimates for a Neumann-neumann Domain Decomposition Algorithm Applied to Contact Problems
Contact problems are frequent in structural analysis. They are characterized by inequality constraints such as non-interpenetration conditions, sign condition on the normal constraints, and an active contact, an area that is a priori unknown. Several approaches exist for solving the non linear equations issued from the finite element discretization of frictionless contact problems. In this work...
متن کاملA domain decomposition method for two-body contact problems with Tresca friction
The paper analyzes a continuous and discrete version of the Neumann-Neumann domain decomposition algorithm for two-body contact problems with Tresca friction. Each iterative step consists of a linear elasticity problem for one body with displacements prescribed on a contact part of the boundary and a contact problem with Tresca friction for the second body. To ensure continuity of contact stres...
