A new smooth contact element: 3D diffuse contact element

A new smooth contact element: 3D diffuse contact element

Many difficulties due to geometrical and material non-linearities arise when dealing with numerical simulation of contact problems. Within a finite element context, the contact interface is usually represented by a piecewise differentiable surface. Numerical problems due to the non-smoothness of...
