A study on the dependency of the interface forces on the FE discretization in nonconvex‐nonsmooth frictional contact problems
Abstract
In this paper, the effect of the FE discretization density on the results of both convex and nonconvex‐nonsmooth frictional contact and adhesive contact interface problems is investigated. The tool for this study is a variational formulation leading to an iterative method for the numerical solution of the arising nonconvex‐nonsmooth optimization problems. Various cases of monotone and nonmonotone interface laws are considered and interesting results are obtained.
