In this thesis a description is given of the numerical treatment of contact problems in elasticity. Frictional effects on the contact surface are modelled by using a nonlocal, nonlinear friction law. Features of the boundary value problem, which merit special attention, are the presence of inequality constraints and the fact that the contact surface is not known a priori. Finite element approximations based on a variational formulation of the problem, developed by Oden and Pires, are used to generate a discretised version. The solution procedure incorporates an iterative algorithm for the determination of the extent of the contact surface. Alternative techniques for the evaluation of the frictional stresses on the contact surface are described and numerical examples are presented. 2014-09-22T07:49:24Z 2014-09-22T07:49:24Z 1983 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7577 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
