CONTACT IN THE ARLEQUIN FRAMEWORK

摘要

Local refinement of discrete contact problems is needed to analyze accurately contact zones and their neighborhoods. Let us mention in particular the fine estimation of the contact zone size, stress concentrations near contact edges, wear and so on. Classically, adaptive approaches are used to address this issue. The Arlequin method (cf. Ben Dhia (1998, 1999)) is suggested here as (hopefully) a more flexible numerical tool.
