Abstract This paper represents a continuation of [15] and [18]. Here, we consider the numerical analysis of a non trivial frictional contact problen in a form of a system of evolution nonlinear partial differential equations. The model describes the equilibrium of a viscoelastic body in sliding contact with a moving foundation. The contact is modeled with a multivalued normal compliance condition with memory term restricted by a unilateral constraint, and is associated to a sliding version of Coulomb's law of dry friction. After a description of the model and some assumptions, we derive a variational formulation of the problem, which consists of a system coupling a variational inequality for the displacement field and a nonlinear equation for the stress field. Then, we introduce a fully discrete scheme for the numerical approximation of the sliding contact problem. Under certain solution regularity assumptions, we derive an optimal order error estimate and we provide numerical validation of this result by considering some numerical simulations in the study of a two-dimensional problem.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to study a quasistatic contact problem between an electro-elastic viscoplastic body with damage and an electrically conductive foundation. The contact is modelled with an electrical condition, normal compliance and the associated version of Coulomb’s law of dry friction in which slip dependent friction is included. We derive a variational formulation for the model and, under a smallness assumption, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution.

Basing on governing Maxwell and energy equation of rail gun considering armature movement in two dimension, The total domain to be solved is divided into two subdomains: moving (armature) part and static (rail) part, finite element formulations of two subdomains are built independently, then using the interface condition of two subdomains, formulations are connected by coupled equation which is derived out by penalty method. Shifted physical quantity is used to simulate movement. The final magnetic-thermal coupled fields finite element formulations of rail gun are established by these methods. Numerical calculation results compared by theoretical and other numerical results verify that penalty method is an effective way to deal with electric sliding contact problem associating with Shifted physical quantity method.
