SSNV153 - Contact pulley - cord
Summary:
This problem corresponds to a quasi-static analysis of a problem of mechanics with contact without
friction. It is about a cord posed on a pulley, whose interior surface is embedded, and drawn from two
sides with an imposed vertical displacement.
This test, treated in 2D with elements QUAD4 is implemented to validate the smoothing of the normal of
surfaces of contact.
This test is based on results 2D suggested by Papadopolous [bib1].

Boundary conditions and loadings
The pulley is blocked:
· on its surface displacement interns is null in two directions X and Y.
No boundary conditions is imposed on the cord except that of the contact.
Loading:
· two vertical displacements are imposed on the two ends of the cord u=1

Characteristics of modeling
Modeling: 2d_PLAN for the solid elements (QUAD4)
The pulley is with a grid with a regular grid using only elements QUAD4. There is the same one
a number of nodes on interior and external surface. For the cord the grid is also
regular and includes/understands only elements QUAD4. There are 8 meshs in the thickness of the cord.

Summary of the results
In this case test, two surfaces of contact are not plane. The normal thus changes one
net with another. This discontinuity generates problems of pairing which have large
influence on calculation. Among these problems, one finds the problem of dissymetrisation, i.e to find
results which do not respect the symmetry of the problem. For this case test, the problem is
perfectly symmetrical (geometries, boundary conditions and loading) according to axis Y. Sans
regularization of the normal a dissymmetry appears on axis X. Indeed, displacements
horizontal of the points A, B and C which are on the axis have there then nonnull values which
do not respect the total symmetry of the problem.
With the regularization of the normal, the solution obtained by using the method continues, respects
perfectly symmetry. It should however be noted that the maillor gibi, used in this case test, does not give
not a perfectly symmetrical grid and that problems of round-offs deteriorate very slightly
the quality of the solution.
This problem is dealt with with method CONTINUE, of key word CONTACT. Integration is made with
level of the nodes of the grid. A detailed attention on the choice of the potential zones of
contact is to be taken into account in these problems of nonplane surfaces.
