Dynamic contact analysis technique for rapidly sliding elastic bodies with node-to-segment contact and differentiated constraints

Abstract

For a stabilized Newmark time integration of dynamic contact problems of the rapidly sliding bodies, considering the equality and inequality contact constraints and a high-speed contact point motion sliding on the deforming contact surface, the velocity and acceleration contact constraints are derived. Also, to suppress the numerical oscillations accompanied by the node-to-segment contact of the finite element models, a pseudo-node-to-node contact technique is suggested with the linear shape function elements having the almost equal segment lengths on the contact surface. The numerical simulations are performed with a high-speed punch moving on the beam and the high-speed rotating disks to check the stability and accuracy of the solution.
