Contact between nonlinearly elastic bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the contact between nonlinearly elastic bodies by variational methods. After the formulation of the mechanical problem we provide existence results based on polyconvexity and on quasiconvexity. Then we derive the Euler-Lagrange equation as a necessary condition for minimizers. Here Clarke’s generalized gradients are the essential tool to treat the nonsmooth obstacle condition.

Extension of the Polygonal Contact Model for Flexible Multibody Systems
The Polygonal Contact Model or PCM is originally an algorithm for contact analysis between rigid bodies with complicated geometries in multibody dynamics. In applications where the flexibility of contacting bodies is not negligible, rigid body contact modeling can not achieve realistic results and elastic body contact modeling should be utilized instead. Therefore, due to the importance and nec...
متن کاملBounds on the electrical resistance between contacting elastic rough bodies
A method is developed for placing bounds on the electrical contact conductance between contacting elastic bodies with rough surfaces. An analogy is rst established between contact conductance and the incremental sti¬ness in the mechanical contact problem. Results from contact mechanics and the reciprocal theorem are then used to bracket the mechanical load{displacement curve between those for...

Many diierent physical systems, e.g. super-coiled DNA molecules, have been successfully modelled as elastic curves, ribbons or rods. We will describe all such systems as framed curves, and will consider problems in which a three dimensional framed curve has an associated energy that is to be minimized subject to the constraint of there being no self-intersection. For closed curves the knot type...

Dundurs [Properties of elastic bodies in contact. In: de Pater AD, Kalker JJ, editors. The mechanics of the contact between deformable bodies. Delft: Delft University Press; 1975. p. 54–66] has shown that if the contact area in a frictionless elastic system under load is equal to or smaller than that before loading (i.e. the contact is receding), the extent of the contact area is load-independe...
متن کاملEuler-Lagrange Equations for Nonlinearly Elastic Rods with Self-Contact
We derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for nonlinear elastic rods with self-contact. The excluded volume constraint is formulated in terms of an upper bound on the global curvature of the centreline. This condition is shown to guarantee the global injectivity of the deformation mapping of the elastic rod. Topological constraints such as a prescribed knot and link class to model knotting and sup...
