Finite Element Solution of the Contact Problem

Year 2018, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 113 - 117, 01.03.2018

Abstract

In this paper,
continuous and discontinuous contact problems for an elastic layer loaded by
symmetrical distributed loads whose lengths are 2a on an elastic semi-infinite
plane is solved using finite element method. The elastic layer also subjected
to uniform vertical body force because of effect of the gravity. Thickness in z
direction is taken to be unit. It is assumed that the contact surfaces are
frictionless, only normal tractions can be transmitted through the contact
areas. The contact along the interface between elastic layer and half plane is
continuous if the value of load factor is less than a critical value. In
continuous and discontinuous contact cases, the stress distribution on the
contact interface are plotted for different dimensionless quantities. The
finite element model of the problem is constituted using ANSYS software and
analysis of the problem is carried out. Finally, the results obtained from the
finite element solution are verified by comprasion with the analytical results
.
