Arbitrary Load Distribution on a Layered Half Space
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method which allows one to calculate the complete elastic field (stress field unit displacements) of layered materials of transverse and complete isotropy under given load conditions.

On the patterns of wing cracks along an outcrop scale flaw: A numerical modeling approach using complementarity
Ovunc Mutlu,David Pollard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the 2D Displacement Discontinuity Method (DDM) is combined with a complementarity algorithm to model the quasi-static formation and patterns of wing cracks that emanate from regions of stress concentration along a sliding frictional flaw in an otherwise homogeneous and isotropic elastic material.

Coating design due to analytical modelling of mechanical contact problems on multilayer systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present theoretical modelling of contact problems for the optimisation of coating elastic properties, such that the stress distribution within a given load range will never reach values high enough to cause plastic deformation or fracture.

Optimization algorithms for the solution of the frictionless normal contact between rough surfaces
Alberto Bemporad,Marco Paggi +1 more
TL;DR: One type of warm start based on a refined criterion for the identification of the initial trial contact domain that can be used in conjunction with all the previous optimization algorithms is proposed, called cascade multi-resolution (CMR), which takes advantage of physical considerations regarding the scaling of the contact predictions by changing the surface resolution.
