Micro Abstract:
This talk presents an extension of Nitsche's method to finite deformation thermo-mechanical contact problems. Besides the coupling of temperature and stress response in the bulk continuum, special focus is put on the consistent enforcement of all involved interface constraints: normal contact, Coulomb's law of friction, heat conduction across the interface and frictional work converted to heat. A set of numerical examples will be presented demonstrating the accuracy of the presented method.
