The load history that blade/disk contacts in jet engine attachment hardware are subject to can be very complex. Using finite element method (FEM) to track changes in the contact tractions due to changing loads can be computationally very expensive. For two-dimensional plane-strain contact problems with friction involving similar/dissimilar isotropic materials, the contact tractions can be related to the initial gap function and the slip function using coupled Cauchy singular integral equations (SIEs). The effect of load history on the contact tractions is illustrated by presenting results for an example fretting “mission.” For the case of dissimilar isotropic materials the mission results show the effect of the coupling between the shear traction and the contact pressure.

ABSTRACT: This work presents the dynamic response of a lock subjected to the horizontal S0E component of the El Centro earthquake for empty and completely filled water chamber cases, by coupled fluid-structure analysis. Initially, the lock was studied by approximation, considering it similar to the case of a double piston coupled to a two-dimensional acoustic cavity (tank), representing a simplified analytical model of the fluid-structure problem. This analytical formulation can be compared with numerical results, in order to qualify the responses of the ultimate problem to be investigated. In all the analyses performed, modeling and numerical simulations were done using the finite element method (FEM), supported by the commercial software ANSYS.
