On a geometrical approach in contact mechanics

  • Chapter
Analysis and Simulation of Contact Problems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics ((LNACM,volume 27))

Abstract

The focus of the contribution is on a detailed discussion of the 2D formulation in contact which can be viewed either as a reduction of the general 3D case to a special cylindrical geometry, or as the contact of 2D bodies bounded by plane curves. In addition, typical frictional characteristics, such as the yield surface and the update of the sliding displacements allow a geometrical interpretation in the chosen coordinate system on the contact surface.
