NormalMortarLMMechanicalContact

Similar to the NormalNodalLMMechanicalContact object except the constraints are enforced in an integral way via the mortar method as opposed to pointwise at nodes. Some numerical experiments suggest that the integral method of enforcing normal contact constraints displays worse non-linear convergence than the pointwise method.

Enforces the normal contact complementarity conditions in a mortar discretization

Required Parameters

compute_lm_residualsTrueWhether to compute Lagrange Multiplier residuals
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to compute Lagrange Multiplier residuals

Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to compute residuals for the primal variable.
correct_edge_droppingFalseWhether to enable correct edge dropping treatment for mortar constraints. When disabled any Lagrange Multiplier degree of freedom on a secondary element without full primary contributions will be set (strongly) to 0.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to enable correct edge dropping treatment for mortar constraints. When disabled any Lagrange Multiplier degree of freedom on a secondary element without full primary contributions will be set (strongly) to 0.
debug_meshFalseWhether this constraint is going to enable mortar segment mesh debug information. An exodusfile will be generated if the user sets this flag to true
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether this constraint is going to enable mortar segment mesh debug information. An exodusfile will be generated if the user sets this flag to true
ghost_point_neighborsFalseWhether we should ghost point neighbors of secondary face elements, and consequently also their mortar interface couples.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether we should ghost point neighbors of secondary face elements, and consequently also their mortar interface couples.
interpolate_normalsTrueWhether to interpolate the nodal normals (e.g. classic idea of evaluating field at quadrature points). If this is set to false, then non-interpolated nodal normals will be used, and then the _normals member should be indexed with _i instead of _qp
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to interpolate the nodal normals (e.g. classic idea of evaluating field at quadrature points). If this is set to false, then non-interpolated nodal normals will be used, and then the _normals member should be indexed with _i instead of _qp
ncp_function_typeminThe type of the nonlinear complimentarity function; options are min or fb where fb stands for Fischer-Burmeister
Default:min
C++ Type:MooseEnum
Options:min, fb
Controllable:No
Description:The type of the nonlinear complimentarity function; options are min or fb where fb stands for Fischer-Burmeister
periodicFalseWhether this constraint is going to be used to enforce a periodic condition. This has the effect of changing the normals vector for projection from outward to inward facing
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether this constraint is going to be used to enforce a periodic condition. This has the effect of changing the normals vector for projection from outward to inward facing
primary_disp_yThe y displacement variable on the primary face
C++ Type:NonlinearVariableName
Controllable:No
Description:The y displacement variable on the primary face
primary_disp_zThe z displacement variable on the primary face
C++ Type:NonlinearVariableName

primary_variablePrimal variable on primary surface. If this parameter is not provided then the primary variable will be initialized to the secondary variable
C++ Type:VariableName
Controllable:No
Description:Primal variable on primary surface. If this parameter is not provided then the primary variable will be initialized to the secondary variable
prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

Controllable:No
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

Options:DEFAULT, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH
Controllable:No
Description:Quadrature rule to use on mortar segments. For 2D mortar DEFAULT is recommended. For 3D mortar, QUAD meshes are integrated using triangle mortar segments.
