Abstract

A numerical study is conducted to evaluate the suitability of a new enhanced contact force model to describe contact between cylindrical bodies for very low clearances. An analytical comparison with the behaviour presented by the Johnson cylindrical contact force model is also conducted. Results demonstrate that the enhanced cylindrical model ensures the accuracy of the Johnson cylindrical model although with the simplicity of the Hertz contact model. Differences lower than 6 % separate the numerical results from those obtained with the enhanced model for the application domain analysed.
