Abstract
We propose a new second-order cone linear complementarity problem (SOCLCP) formulation for the numerical finite element analysis of three-dimensional (3D) frictional contact problems by the parametric variational principle. Specifically, we develop a regularization technique to resolve the multi-valued difficulty involved in the frictional contact law, and use a second-order cone complementarity condition to handle the regularized Coulomb friction law in contact analysis. The governing equations of the 3D frictional contact problem is represented by an SOCLCP via the parametric variational principle and the finite element method, which avoids the polyhedral approximation to the Coulomb friction cone so that the problem to be solved has much smaller size and the solution has better accuracy. In this paper, we reformulate the SOCLCP as a semi-smooth system of equations via a one-parametric class of second-order cone complementarity functions, and then apply the non-smooth Newton method for solving this system. Numerical results confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the SOCLCP approach developed.
