Abstract
This paper concerns the calculation of the unilateral contact
forces and displacements between circular cylindrical shells
and the saddles. The method of this computation
depends on the formulation of a linear complementarity
problem (LCP) or quadratic programming problem
(QPP) which was derived from the numerical computation
of the behavior of elastic bodies using Sanders' theory
of shells subjected to unilateral contact boundary conditions
that was governed by variational inequalities. This
LCP is a direct extension of the force method of structural
analysis. Solving such structural systems leads to
the computation of the interface distribution stresses.
