Abstract

Based on the non-smooth nonlinear equations method for modeling three-dimensional elastic frictional contact problems (hereafter called NNEM), the extension to elastoplastic case in which the material nonlinearity is also involved is presented in this paper. Two approaches which combine two methods for solving elastoplastic problem with NNEM are proposed. A Numerical example is given to demonstrate the validation of the approaches.
