Validation of normal and frictional contact models of spherical bodies by FEM analysis

Contact forces between two spheres are computed, including the contact pressure (normal) and the frictional stress (tangential) using a finite element method (FEM). A CAD model of a part of a sphere was developed. A mesh was created using ANSYS® Solid 186, 20-Noded hexahedral element and analyzed fo...
