Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present a theoretical and numerical analysis of frictional contact problems for large deformation elasto-plastic based on the finite element method (FEM) and the mathematical programming. The study is done on an elasto-plastic material obeying to the von Mises criterion. The Coulomb’s friction contact is used to implement the frictional boundary conditions and is formulated by the bipotential concept leading us to minimize only one variational principle of minimum in displacement. In order to follow up the sequences of large deformations, we have used the sequential analysis procedure; it consists in the updating of material properties and geometrical configuration after each sequence.
