Abstract

The paper presents elliptical Coulomb law where the friction surface is defined with two principal friction coefficients and corresponding direction, what enables description of surfaces showing biaxial frictional response. The Moving Friction Cone formulation is based on the contact constraint described using a single gap vector that enables significantly simpler, shorter and faster element code.
