4. B modeling#
4.1. Characteristics of modeling#
We use a D_ PLAN modeling.
The contact between the half-ring and the block is frictional. The coulomb coefficient of friction is \(\mathrm{0,5}\).
4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
The mesh contains 240 elements of type QUAD4.

4.3. Tested sizes and results#
The movement is tested on two points in the contact zone. Point \(A\), located in the middle in \(X=125\mathit{mm}\) and point \(B\), located in \(X=23/30\ast 250\mathit{mm}\), the aim being to always have one of the two points in contact during the calculation, despite the deformation of the half-ring.
