Incremental finite element equations for thermomechanical response of elastomers: Effect of boundary conditions including contact

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:1389796)





The present investigation concerns the solution of nonlinear finite element equations by Newton iteration, for which the Jacobian matrix plays a central role. In contrast to the earlier works, in the current investigation the boundary conditions and Fourier's law of heat conduction are referred to the deformed coordinates, and variable thermomechanical contact is modeled. A thermohyperelastic constitutive equation is used to provide a thermomechanical, near-incompressible counterpart of the two-term Mooney-Rivlin model. The Jacobian matrix is augmented with several terms which are derived in compact form using Kronecker product notation. Calculations are presented on a confined rubber O-ring seal submitted to force and heat.
