Plane Gap Element and Its Applicattion to Axi-symmetric Contact Problems

Elastic contact problems are analyzed by plane gap elements. With the friction effect taken into consideration, a 4-nodes plane isoparametric gap element is formulated. As an examle an elastic cylinder in contact with a rigid plane is calculated with the incremental methed. The numerical results are in good agreement with the theoretical solution. For axi-symmetric problems, a 4-nodes isoarametric oo element is developed in the meridian plane. The numerical results of an elastic ball in contact with a rigid plane are consistent with the actual solution.The parameters of the "material" of the gapP elements have effect on the efficiency of numerical solutions, and they should be selected properly according to the materials of the structures.
