A Smooth System of Equations Approach to Complementarity Problems for Frictionless Contacts

Frictionless contact problems are the simplest and classical contact problems, and the contact conditions of sticking, slipping, and separation mode all can be ascribed to complementary problems. Consequently, a smooth system of equations approach for the design and analysis of complementarity probl...

Description
Summary:Frictionless contact problems are the simplest and classical contact problems, and the contact conditions of sticking, slipping, and separation mode all can be ascribed to complementary problems. Consequently, a smooth system of equations approach for the design and analysis of complementarity problems for frictionless contacts is presented. A compute program based on boundary element technique is given and applied to two practical contact examples. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method are demonstrated.
