The contact condition of viscoelastic contact problems

Abstract

Three contact states in the viscoelastic contact deformation area between the rigid cylinder and the viscoelastic foundation are discussed based on various material mechanical properties between the rigid and the viscoelastic materials. On this basis, the relationship model between the node displacements and the node stresses in the boundary contact area is established, and the corresponding numerical analytical algorithms are used to simulate the viscoelastic contact deformation. Meanwhile, an example is given to simulate the contact deformation of the conveyor belt.
