Abstract
The evaluation of the contact patch and the distribution of stress and strain in rolling contact requires a geometrically and materially nonlinear approach. The presented paper gives an overview over the theoretical background of the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation of the stationary dynamics of rolling bodies in elastic-elastic contact. Contact formulations for dynamic contact conditions are developed using a velocity oriented approach. The transcription into the Finite Element Method, which is temporarily limited to an elastic material law, is given. For future developments some conceptual comments for the extension for transient rolling contact are made. Numerical examples for three dimensional simulations including rolling over worn profiles demonstrate the applicability of the developed program package. A prospect of started key issues of research and development finalizes the paper.
