Case 2 Case with adhesion

 

The data files for the project are in directory: Cont_001\Exercises\Case 2\Data. Look for ! TODO  text in the datafile and follow the instructions.

 

In this tutorial exercise adhesion in the contact will be added.  To add adhesion the Contact_property and Contact_set should be modified as shown below. In order to observe its effects a vertical upward displacement on the top surface of the top Block will be defined.

 

Only the key differences relative to Case01 are discussed below.

 

 

 

Contact_property

Data File

 

 

* Contact_property                  NUM=1

! ----------------------------------------

 Name                 "Block_friction"

 Compression_model      1                  

 Compression_properties IDM=1

  /"Normal Penalty"/             500

 Tangential_model       2                

 Tangential_properties IDM=2

  /"Tangential Penalty"/        1000

  /"Friction coefficient"/       0.5            

 Adhesion_model         1

 Adhesion_properties   IDM=1

  /"Normal Penalty"/             500

 

1The compression and tangential models/properties are left unchanged.

2The elastic adhesion model is selected (model 1).

3The adhesion normal penalty stiffness is set to 500 MPa.

 

 

 

 

Load data

Data File

 

 

* Global_loads               NUM=2

! ---------------------------------

 Prescribed_displacement IDM=3 JDM=1

  /Set1/   0 0 1

 Pres_displacement_geom_set   IDM=1

   "Top_Block"

 Pres_displacement_geom_ass   IDM=1

   1

 

 

* Time_curve_data                NUM=2

! ---------------------------------

 Time_curve                     IDM=3

   0.0  1.0  2.0

 Load_factor                    IDM=3

   0.0  -0.05  0.1

 

 

* Load_case_control_data                

! ---------------------------------

 Loadcases                      IDM=2

  1  2

 Active_load_flags              IDM=2

  0  2

 

1The time curve for load 2 is modified in such a way that:

a.From t=0 to t=1 Ma there is vertical downward compression as in the previous example

b.From t=1 to t=2 Ma there is vertical extension (pulling up the top block).

2Load case 1 (lateral displacement) is deactivated in Load_case_control_data.

 

 

 

Results

The result files for the project are in directory: Cont_001\Exercises\Case 2\Results.  Note how the adhesion prevents the top cube to separate from the base prisms.

After that example you can undertake Case 3 Case with elastic contact
