Abstract:
In this paper we present an rp-adaptive discretization strategy to perform unilateral two-dimensional mechanical contact simulations by combining the r and p-version of the finite element method (FEM). The p-version leaves the finite element mesh unchanged and increases the shape function's polynomial degree in order to obtain convergence towards the exact solution of the underlying mathematical model. The r-method relocates nodes of an existing FE-mesh to improve the discretization of a given p...     »
