A MESHLESS METHOD ANALYSIS OF ELASTO-PLASTIC CONTACT PROBLEMS WITH FRICTION

We present a theoretical and numerical analysis of incremental elasto-plastic problems based on the meshless method and the mathematical programming. This study is done on an elasto-plastic material with isotropic hardening obeying to the von Mises criterion. The transformation method is adopted to impose the essential boundary condition. The Coulomb's dry friction contact is used to implement the frictional boundary conditions and is formulated by the bipotential method which leads to only one principle of minimum in displacement. The numerical analysis results obtained by the method proposed in this paper are in good agreement with those obtained by FEM.
