An Efficient Numerical Algorithm for Cracks Partly in Frictionless Contact

Helsing, Johan LU and Peters, Gunnar (2000) In SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics 61(2). p.551-566
Abstract
An algorithm for a loaded crack partly in frictionless contact is presented. The problem is nonlinear in the sense that the equations of linear elasticity are supplemented by certain contact inequalities. The location of a priori unknown contact zones and the solutions to the field equations must be determined simultaneously. The algorithm is based on a rapidly converging sequence of relaxed Fredholm integral equations of the second kind in which the contact problem is viewed as a perturbation of a noncontacting crack problem. The algorithm exhibits great stability and speed. The numerical results are orders-of-magnitudes more accurate than those of previous investigators.
