Description

Constitutive law for unilateral thermo-mechanical contact

The model

Thermo-mechanical analysis of problems involving unilateral contact between two bodies. Coulomb dry friction law is used. The contact condition is enforced via a penalty method or augmented Lagrangian method according to ISTRA(4). Heat transfer between the bodies depends upon the contact state.

  1. Contact occurs(pression non zero) heat transfer is computed according the contact thermal resistance
  2. Contact does not occur, heat transfer is computed by convection and radiation with constant coefficient.
    In this case, the outside temperature is the following one :
    • INDIC = 1 always the atmosphere temperature
    • INDIC = 0 if the normal to the structure intersects one segment, this segment temperature is chosen; otherwise, the atmosphere temperature is used
    • INDIC = 2 if the normal to the structure intersects one segment, this segment temperature is chosen; otherwise, no flux is computed (interest if 2 layers of contact element exist)

Stresses

Number of stresses

4 for 3D state
3 for the other cases

Meaning

For the 3D state

SIG(1) normal contact pressure
SIG(2) tangent contact stress in the $\xi$ direction
SIG(3) tangent contact stress in the $\eta$ direction
SIG(4) heat transfer

The $\xi$ and $\eta$ correspond to the intrinsic co-ordinates of the contact element CFI3D

For the other cases

SIG(1) normal contact pressure
SIG(2) tangent contact stress
SIG(3) heat transfer

List of state variables

Q(1) 0 if the current state is elastic (no sliding)
1 if the current state is elastoplastic (sliding at contact)
-1 no mechanical, nor thermical contact
Q(2) amount of mechanical energy dissipated per unit area, due to friction
Q(3) information concerning the mechanical dissipation into heat flow (for exact meaning see CTQ parameter above)
