Sommario

In questo lavoro viene presentata una formulazione penalty del problema di contatto unilaterale senza attrito tra una piastra rettangolare elastica ed un semispazio elastico. Per la piastra si utilizza il modello di Mindlin, che consente di tener conto dell'effetto delle tensioni da taglio. Si forniscono alcuni risultati numerici ottenuti mediante discretizzazione agli elementi finiti.

Summary

In this paper a penalty formulation of the frictionless unilateral contact problem between an elastic rectangular plate and an elastic half-space is presented. In order to take into account the effects of the shear stress, the Mindlin plate model is analyzed. Some numerical results, obtained via finite elements, are given.
