Hybrydowa metoda elementów skończonych w zagadnieniu kontaktowym
In the paper a method of finding distributions of tractions in elastic structural elements being in the contact under the influence of external loads have been proposed. The real structures have been represented by a system of rigid as well as deformable finite elements. On surfaces where the possibility of a contact between structural elements can occur, the special finite element, reffered to as GAP, have been introduced. The procedure of calculating the stresses and deformation of GAP is of an iterative character. The description of the program for computers and the example of application have bsen given.
