Abstract
The rigid-plastic domain-boundary element method has been formulated with mixed variables (velocity and velocity's derivative). This method possesses a merit in that compatibilities of not only velocity but also velocity's derivative can be met, then it may be considered that precision of the rigid-plastic domain-boundary element method is higher than that of the classical rigid-plastic finite element methods. On the other hand, the rigid-plastic domain-boundary element method possesses another merit in that it does not need iterative calculations in any computing step and then there is not possibility of divergence with the iterative calculations. In this paper, an axisymmetric rigid-plastic domain-boundary element method is formulated, and axisymmetric indentation processes of three material constants and two friction factors are analyzed by this method.
