Abstract
Contact of a single third-body particle between two plates is simulated using the Boundary Element Method. The particle is considered as deformable, and the Coulomb’s law of friction is assumed at the contact interface. The normal pressure distribution and tangential stress distribution in contact as well as the macroscopic force and force moment are calculated. Several movement modes are shown to be possible: rolling, rotation, or sticking during the loading. It is found that, differing from rigid particles, the state of particle may change during the loading. The particle may stick to the plates initially, but rotation may occur when the load becomes larger. Examples with the same and different coefficients of friction are presented to show kinematics of particle. The method can be further applied to simulation of multiple third-body particles.
