• Resumen

  • In this paper a numerical model for the analysis of coupled thermomechanical multi-body frictional contact problems at finite deformations is presented. The multi-body frictional contact formulation is fully developed on the continuum setting and then a spatial (Galerkin projection) and temporal (time-stepping algorithm) discretization is applied. A contact pressure and temperature dependent thermal contact model has been used. A fractional step method arising from an operator split of the governing equations has been used to solve the coupled nonlinear system of equations, leading to a staggered solution algorithm.

    The numerical model has been implemented into an enhanced version of the computational finite element program FEAP. Numerical examples and simulation of industrial metal forming processes show the performance of the numerical model in the analysis of coupled thermomechanical frictional contact problems.
