Abstract
AbstractIn the last hundred years a lot of work is done in describing and measuring the influence of the pressure on the resistance and wear in electrical contacts. But up to now there exists a lack of knowledge in predicting and optimizing the behavior of electrical contacts with numerical simulation tools considering the pressure dependency. The present work provides a new constitutive model for the contact interface in the case of current flow and a new friction law including electrical wear phenomena. Additionally numerical investigations are made to compare the numerical results with experimental data. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
