Abstract: | This paper proposes a computational method for analyzing the behavior of two elastic bodies coming into contact with friction, obeying volume forces of density, surface traction of density and thermal load. Thermal load results from the computation of the distribution of the thermal field in the two bodies, assuming the existence of the heat source. In this computation, attenuation is concentrated on contact problem in elasticity and on thermal transfer through the contact zone, using contact finite element and the thermal contact finite element. |
