This paper describes a new approach to optimization of linear elastic structures in frictional contact. It uses a novel method to determine an, in a specified sense, likely equilibrium state of the structure, using only the static equilibrium conditions. That is, no complex dynamic/quasi-static analyses have to be performed. The approach has the advantage that it is not necessary to know the complete...
A finite deformation contact problem with friction and wear is studied in which the shape changes due to wear are finite. Accordingly, in addition to the initial configuration and the current configuration, an intermediate time-dependent configuration is introduced that corresponds to the undeformed body of the shape changed due to wear. Two time scales are also introduced in order to distinguish...
