CNTCQ

Description

Constitutive law for unilateral contact with friction, for thin 3D shell elements.

The model

This law is used for mechanical analysis of unilateral contact with friction in 3D state for shells.

Contact can occur on both sides of shell.

A penalty method is chosen to represent the contact.

COULOMB behaviour is assumed, with constant friction coefficient.

Parameters defining the type of constitutive law

Line 1 (2I5, 60A1)
ILLaw number
ITYPE 98
COMMENT Any comment (up to 60 characters) that will be reproduced on the output listing

Integer parameters

Line 1 (I5)
NINTV Number of sub-step to calculate the contact

Real parameters

Line 1 (5G10.0)
RIGP Penalty coefficient on pressure, $K_p$
RIGT Penalty coefficient on shear, $K_{\tau}$ (default = RIGP)
FRTCN COULOMB's coefficient = $\Phi$

TAUMX Maximum value imposed for shear stress

Stresses

Number of stresses

3

Meaning

SIG(1) = p : Pressure
> 0 in compression
SIG(2) = $\tau$ : Shear
> 0 according with local coordinates of shell
SIG(3) = $\tau$ : Shear
> 0 according with local coordinates of shell

List of state variables

Q(1)IELD: State of contact
= -1 : No contact
= 0 : No sliding (elastic state in Tresca law, $\rvert\rvert\tau\rvert\rvert$ = FRTCN.$p$+COHES)
= 1 : Sliding (plastic state, always if FRTCN = 0 and TAUMX = 0)
Q(2)ISEG: Number of foundation segment in contact
Q(3)DIS: Penetration distance
Q(4)ICONT: Index of contact
= 0 : Contact if DIS < 0
= 2 : No contact b/c of normal consistency or b/c abs(DIS) > DMAX
= 11, 12 or 13 (only for foundation with triangular segments) : No contact but contact possible with a neighbouring segment
Q(5)VR: Relative sliding speed
Q(6)VS: Relative sliding speed
