Abstract

AbstractIn theoretical research pertaining to sealing, a contact model must be used to obtain the leakage channel. However, for elastoplastic contact, current numerical methods require a long calculation time. Hyperelastic contact is typically simplified to a linear elastic contact problem, which must be improved in terms of calculation accuracy. Based on the fast Fourier transform, a numerical method suitable for elastoplastic and hyperelastic frictionless contact that can be used for solving two-dimensional and three-dimensional (3D) contact problems is proposed herein. The nonlinear elastic contact problem is converted into a linear elastic contact problem considering residual deformation (or the equivalent residual deformation). Results from numerical simulations for elastic, elastoplastic, and hyperelastic contact between a hemisphere and a rigid plane are compared with those obtained using the finite element method to verify the accuracy of the numerical method. Compared with the existing elastoplastic contact numerical methods, the proposed method achieves a higher calculation efficiency while ensuring a certain calculation accuracy (i.e., the pressure error does not exceed 15%, whereas the calculation time does not exceed 10 min in a 64 × 64 grid). For hyperelastic contact, the proposed method reduces the dependence of the approximation result on the load, as in a linear elastic approximation. Finally, using the sealing application as an example, the contact and leakage rates between complicated 3D rough surfaces are calculated. Despite a certain error, the simplified numerical method yields a better approximation result than the linear elastic contact approximation. Additionally, the result can be used as fast solutions in engineering applications.
