3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

It is a modeling in plane deformations (D_ PLAN). The master and slave surfaces are compliant.

Young’s modulus \({E}_{1}\mathrm{=}{E}_{2}\) and Poisson’s coefficients \({\nu }_{1}\mathrm{=}{\nu }_{2}\) are \(1.0E9\mathit{Pa}\) and \(0.2\) respectively. The pressure applied to the edge of the outer ring is \(1.0E7+\mathrm{10E5.cos}(2\theta )(\mathit{Pa})\), \(\theta\) being the polar angle.

The outer ring defines the master surface.

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh (Figure 3.2-1) includes:

  • 480 SEG2 meshes;

  • 2640 QUAD4 meshes.

3.3. Tested sizes and results#

Note \(\lambda\) the contact pressure calculated analytically, \(({U}_{x},{U}_{y})\) the displacements calculated analytically.

In the case where the displacements are zero, an absolute tolerance equal to 2% of the value of the maximum radial displacement Urmax=5.5E-03 is defined.

The contact pressure (LAGS_C) and the components of the displacement in the plane (X, Y) (DX, DY) are calculated for the nodes with the following coordinates:

  • N9 (0.6, 0.0)

  • N10 (0.0, 0.6)

  • N11 (-0.6, 0.0)

  • N12 (0.0, -0.6)

  • N303 (4.24264068712436E-01, 4.24264068711421E-01)

  • N371 (-4.24264068711421E-01, 4.24264068712436E-01)

  • N439 (-4.24264068712436E-01, -4.24264068711421E-01)

  • N507 (4.24264068711421E-01, -4.24264068712436E-01)
