CHAPTER 27
Large Sliding Contact Analysis of aBuckle
Introduction
This problem demonstrates the ability of MD Nastran SOL 400 to do a frictional contact problem. Anostensibly simple geometry poses a substantial challenge for the contact algorithm due to the largesliding involved between the two deformable bodies. Sudden changes in the motion path pose achallenge to the ability of the contact algorithm to correctly place the node on the contact surface whilerespecting the various geometric details in the problem.Due to large bending stresses in the deformed configuration, assumed strain formulation is used with the8-node hexahedral elements. The material is elastic and the original geometry without residual stressesis recovered upon the complete removal of the loading.From elementary strength of materials analysis, the tip deflection for beam bending can be written as:where is the applied load, is the length of the beam, is the moment of inertia and is the Young’smodulus. The normal stress along the beam cross section varies in the thickness direction as:where is the moment and is the thickness coordinate. It must be noted that the above solution onlyholds for small displacements and uniform cross section.
Modeling Details
A numerical solution has been obtained with MD Nastran’s SOL 400 for a 3-D representation of a belt buckle with a deformable-to-deformable contact between the two pieces of the buckle. The details of finite element model, contact simulation, material, load, boundary conditions, and solution procedure arediscussed below.The case control section of the input contains the following options for nonlinear analysis:
