Numerical Solution of Mixed Problems of the Theory of Elasticity with One-Sided Constraints
The paper deals with the application features of the finite element technologies to solve the problems of elasticity with one-sided constraints. On the one hand, the area of this study is determined by the fact that many critical parts and assemblies of mechanical and power engineering constructions have a significant contact within some given surface. To assess the strength and the life of these parts and assemblies, reliable stress-strain state data are demandable. Data on the stress-strain state can be obtained using the contemporary mathematical modeling means, e.g., finite element technology.
