Oa. Olukoko et al., A REVIEW OF 3 ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO MODELING FRICTIONAL CONTACT PROBLEMS USING THE BOUNDARY-ELEMENT METHOD, Proceedings - Royal Society. Mathematical and physical sciences, 444(1920), 1994, pp. 37-51
This paper reviews three alternative boundary element approaches to mo
delling contact problems with frictional slipping developed by the pre
sent authors. The first method is based on node-on-node matching along
the interface while the other two allow an independent discretization
of the contacting bodies. The various features and the relative merit
s and demerits of each approach are described, and results obtained fr
om the three approaches are compared for some practical examples invol
ving frictional slipping at the interface. The approaches are develope
d for two-dimensional and axisymmetric problems with linearly elastic
material behaviour and under static and proportional loading condition
