The traction excerted by the master face on the slave face at a slave integration point p can be written analogous to Equation ():
\boldsymbol{t_{(n)}}= f(r) \boldsymbol{n}. | (270) |
For simplicity, in the face-to-face penalty contact formulation it is assumed that within an increment the location (\xi _{m_k}, \eta _{m_k}) of the projection of the slave integration points on the master face and the local Jacobian on the master face do not change. Consequently (cf. the section ):
\frac{\partial \boldsymbol{m} }{\partial \boldsymbol{u_p} }=\frac{\partial \xi}{\partial \boldsymbol{u_p} } = \frac{\partial \eta }{\partial \boldsymbol{u_p} } =\boldsymbol{0}. | (271) |
and
\frac{\partial \boldsymbol{r} }{\partial \boldsymbol{u_p} }= \boldsymbol{I}, | (272) |
which leads to
\frac{\partial \boldsymbol{t_{(n)}}}{\partial \boldsymbol{u_p} } = \frac{\partial f}{\partial r} \boldsymbol{n} \otimes \boldsymbol{n}. | (273) |
This is the normal contact contribution to Equation ().
