MS026 - Contact and Interface Mechanics: Modeling and Computation
Keywords: Adhesion, Computation, Computations, Contact, Friction, Interface, Modelling
This Minisyposium is devoted to recent developments on the various aspects of contact mechanics:
• Interface behaviour: unilateral contact, friction, adhesion, CZM, viscosity, fretting, wear, peeling, rolling contact, contact in biomechanics, fluid flow in contact interface.
• Computational models: multilevel approaches (molecular and nano-micro-macro models), multi-physics (thermo-piezo- …), coupled multi-field formulations, fractal surface characterization, homogenization, bi-potential.
• Computational methods: fast solvers, multigrid, isogeometric analysis, NURBS, virtual elements.
• Dynamics of structures and of rigid bodies, instabilities.
• Discretization methods for overlapping immersed and embedded meshes.
• Mathematical progresses.
• Industrial applications involving interface and contact conditions.
