Isogeometric analysis and hierarchical refinement for multi-field contact problems - Maik Dittmann Kartoniert (TB)

The present work deals with multi-field contact problems in the context of IGA. In particular a thermomechanical as well as a fracture mechanical system is considered where novel formulations are introduced for both. The corresponding discrete contact formulations are based on a variationally consistent mortar approach adapted for NURBS discretized and hierarchical refined surfaces. Finally the capabilities of the proposed framework are demonstrated within numerous numerical examples.
