Abstract
Finite element implementations of the classical (stick‐slip) and a regularized (elastic‐slip) friction laws are compared for a class of non‐linear slip criteria. The fully implicit method is used for integrating the friction law. A novel implementation of the stick‐slip law, that involved transformation to a non‐orthogonal coordinate system at each contact point, is assessed. A numerical comparison is carried out for a simple problem, that has previously been analysed in the literature. The convergence of the elastic‐slip law for increasing stiffness is evaluated in addition to convergence behaviour of the adopted Newton iterations for a given law.Keywords
