Title:

The p-version of the FEM for computational contact mechanics

Author(s):
Franke, D.; Duester, A.; Rank, E.
Abstract:
Contact analyses are being performed in various engineering applications. Here, like in most other fields, FE codes are based on low order elements using linear or quadratic shape functions. The intention of this paper is to show that finite elements with shape functions of high polynomial degree (p-FEM) are a very attractive alternative to low order elements, even for computational contact mechanics. One of the advantages is the possibility to enhance the element formulation with the blending f...     »
