non-linear friction in FE
Tue, 2010-11-02 10:57 - Chris W Smith
We are looking at implementing a non-linear model with friction, and at least in the first place for statics. We haven't found much in the literature on non-linear models for friction in FE.
Anyone any advice on key papers to read ?
Thanks,
Chris

Coulomb Friction
Dear Chris,
the following might help:
Laursen, T.A. (1992), Formulation and Treatment of Frictional
Contact
Problems Using Finite Elements, Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of
Mechanical
Engineering, Stanford University.
Kim, T.Y., J.E. Dolbow & T.A. Laursen (2007), "A Mortared Finite
Element Method for Frictional
Contact on Arbitrary Surfaces," Computational Mechanics, 39,
223-235.
From the mathematical side, a contact problem with Coulomb friction is modelled by variational inequalties. If it is this, what you are interested in, then
I suggest the following:

I hope It will help you.
