Abstract
In this paper a micromechanical formulation is used in
combination with augmented lagrangian technique for the
analysis of thermomechanical contact problems. Axial,
tangential and thermal stiffnesses are determined using nonlinear
relationships based on statistical characterisation of contact
microscophical asperities. Ill-conditioning is avoided using
augmented lagrangian technique. This means that microscopical
laws are not used to determine the target contact stiffness, but
are used to force the target contact approach. Correct solutions
are obtained by imposing contact forces as external ones, and
convergence is achieved when the target approach is satisfied.
Symmetrization of the contact contribution is also considered
within the augmentation loop, and different strategies taking into
account thermal coupling are compared.
