1. I have built a FEM model 2D plane strain using ABAQUS/Standard (CPE4R) elements,
3. The Cylinder material is given is ELASTIC ISOTROPIC material with no plasticit E=310 GPa
4. The plate is with a Ramberg-Osgood plasticity with a Young's modulus E=210 GPa.
5. The mesh at the the contact point is VERY refined element characteristic length is about 1 micron.
(My model units are (mm,N,sec)).
7. I try to validate with mindlin theory (Pressure and shear), when I plot the pressure profile at the
contact zone I get a well behaved curve. However, the Shear at the contact zone is NOT well behaved,
it shows alot of fluctuations and noisy response.
8. I tried to modify the mesh size at the contact zone (increased in fact) but the response is still the
same.
P.S. if I remove PLASTICITY from the model, it works fine both in NORMAL pressure and IN SHEAR.
Question:
2. Is there a particular plastic model that I should used (my material is a metal) ?
