A simple formulation for two-dimensional contact problems using a moving friction cone

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer review

Abstract

In this paper a simple finite element formulation for two-dimensional frictional contact problems undergoing large deformations is presented. It is equivalent to the standard node-to-segment interpolation but it leads to a less complicated matrix formulation and hence is on one hand more efficient and on the other hand easier to implement.
