CONTACT INTERACTION OF SIMILAR SHAPE BODIES AT SMALL DISTURBANCE OF INITIAL GAP DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

In this work, on the development of previous research, a model of contact interaction of similar shape bodies is built. Contact in the system "punch - stamped material - matrix" is considered. A gap is set between the material to be stamped and the matrix, which varies in circular coordinate. The regularities of the change of contact pressure and contact areas with variation of the law of distribution of the initial gap are determined. The influence of the load level on these parameters is also determined. In particular, the analysis of the influence of the number of waves in the distribution of the initial gap in the circular direction on the nature of the distribution of contact areas and contact pressure. It is established that at low level of loads significant non-uniformity of the contact pressure distribution along the circular coordinate is realized. In the future, with increasing load levels, this unevenness decreases. The distribution of contact pressure tends to the case of contact with nominally coincident surfaces of the matrix and the material to be stamped, i.e. at zero gap. Thus, an analytical-numerical method for studying the contact interaction of closely shaped bodies with low perturbation of the initial gap distribution has been developed. Regularities of influence of constructive and technological parameters on contact interaction of these bodies on an example of elements of stamp equipment are also established.
