Problem description

The model consists of two concentric rings with a small initial overclosure. In ABAQUS/Standard the initial overclosure is resolved during a *STATIC step. In ABAQUS/Explicit the initial overclosure is resolved during a *DYNAMIC step.

The two-dimensional model consists of two 16-element rings, and the three-dimensional model consists of two 32-element rings. The elements of the inner and outer rings are perfectly aligned.

Interface friction coefficient0.0

Results and discussion

The interference is resolved for models using hard contact. In the case of softened contact the interference is reduced until equilibrium is reached; any residual overclosure at the end of the step can be reduced by increasing the stiffness of the pressure-overclosure relationship.
