Abstract
The order of stress singularity around sharp corners is studied by solving the characteristic equation numerically. The corresponding displacement and stress fields around the sharp corners, which accurately satisfy the compatibility of deformation and stress states on the two sides of the slave corner, are derived for various contact configurations. The dominant mode of infinite asymptotic stress field for contact problems is then implemented with minimum enrichments (2 functions for each enriched node), for the first time, within the framework of partition of unity finite element. An increased rate of convergence is achieved and the generalized stress intensity factor can be obtained directly from the additional unknowns. Numerical examples demonstrate the superior accuracy of the present approach to capture the sliding contact stress singularities near sharp corners.
