An accurate Local Average Contact (LAC) method for nonmatching meshes in 2D and 3D
Résumé
The present paper deals with linear and quadratic finite element approximations of the two and three-dimensional unilateral contact problems between two elastic bodies with non-matching meshes. We propose a simple noninterpenetration condition (on the displacements) which is local (as the well known node-on-segment and node-on-face conditions) and accurate (like the mortar approach). This condition consists of averaging locally on a few elements the noninterpenetration. We achieve the corresponding optimal convergence analysis in 2D and 3D using various linear and quadratic elements and the computations of the Taylor patch test and Hertzian contact.
