Global-Friction-contact problems (2D or 3D)#

Problem statement#

Given

  • a symmetric positive semi definite matrix \({M} \in {{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^{n \times n}\)

  • a matrix \({H} \in {{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^{n \times {d\, n_c}}\)

  • a vector \({q} \in {{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^n\)

  • a vector \({b} \in {{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^{d\, n_c}\)

  • a vector of coefficients of friction \(\mu \in{{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^{n_c}\)

the global frictional contact problem denoted by \(\mathrm{PFC}(M,H,q,b,\mu)\) consists in finding three vectors,

  • the global velocity \(v\in{{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^n\),

  • the relative local velocity \(u\in{{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^{d\,n_c}\),

  • the contact forces \(r\in {{\mathrm{I\!R}}}^{d,n_c}\),

such that :

\[\begin{split}\begin{eqnarray*} \begin{cases} M v = q + H r \\ u = H^\top v + b \\ \hat u = u +\left[ \left[\begin{array}{c} \mu^\alpha \|u^\alpha_{T}\|\\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array}\right]^T, \alpha = 1 \ldots n_c \right]^T \\ \ \ C^\star_{\mu} \ni {\hat u} \perp r \in C_{\mu} \end{cases} \end{eqnarray*}\end{split}\]

where the Coulomb friction cone is defined by \(C_{\mu} = \prod\limits_{\alpha=1\ldots n_c} C^{\alpha}_{\mu^\alpha}\)

with \(C^{\alpha}_{\mu^\alpha} =\{ r^\alpha, \|r_{t}\| \leq \mu_{\alpha} |r^\alpha_{n}|\}\) , and the set \(C^{\alpha,\star}_{\mu^\alpha}\) its dual.

The modified local velocity \(\widehat u\) is not considered as an unknown since it can be obtained uniquely from the local velocity \(u\).

Coulomb’s friction law with Signorini’s condition for the unilateral contact written in terms of second order complementarity condition

\[\begin{eqnarray} C^\star_{\mu} \ni {\hat u} \perp r \in C_{\mu} \end{eqnarray}\]

can be interpreted in a more usual form

\[\begin{split}\begin{eqnarray} \begin{cases} 0 \leq u_{N} \perp r_N \geq 0 \quad\quad\text{ Signorini condition}\\ u_T = 0 \Rightarrow \|r_T\| \leq \mu |r_n| \quad\quad\text{ Sticking mode} \\ u_T \neq 0 \Rightarrow r_T = - \mu |r_n| \frac{u_T }{\|u_T\|} \quad\quad\text{ Sliding mode} \end{cases} \end{eqnarray}\end{split}\]

This problem models any instance of discretized frictional contact problem obtained from

  • the time-discretization of dynamics contact problems with event-capturing of event-tracking schemes,

  • the time-discretization of quasi-static contact problems,

  • the modeling of static contact problems. In this last case, \(u\) plays the role of the relative displacement at contact
