TangentialMortarLMMechanicalContact
The TangentialMortarLMMechanicalContact
class is used to ensure that the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions of Coulomb frictional contact are satisfied:
where is the coefficient of friction, is the Lagrange multiplier variable representing the contact pressure, is the slip velocity of the slave face relative to the master face, and is the Lagrange multiplier variable representing the tangential stress. The above conditions require that either the slave face is sticking to the master face, or the slave face is slipping and the tangential stress is equal in magnitude to the coefficient of friction times the normal contact pressure. Additionally, if the face is slipping, then the force exerted by the slave face is in the same direction as the slip.
The ncp_function_type
parameter specifies the type of nonlinear complimentarity problem (NCP) function to use. The options are either min
, which is just the min function, or fb
which represents the Fischer-Burmeister function. In our experience, the Fischer-Burmeister function achieves better convergence in the non-linear solve. The c
parameter is used to balance the size of the slip velocity and the tangential stress. If the stress is of order 1000, and the velocity is of order 1, then c
should be set to 1000 in order to bring components of the NCP function onto the same level and achieve optimal convergence in the non-linear solve.
Ensures that the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions of Coulomb frictional contact are satisfied
