Abstract

A finite-volume Method (FVM) is tested for application to contact problems of linearly elastic bodies, aiming at analysis of pipes exposed to local stress and strain increase triggered by their contact with supports or foundation. The implemented numerical algorithm is verified by comparison of the numerical results with the analytical ones in case of a pressurized thick-walled pipe, as well as in a Hertzian contact of a solid cylinder and a rigid flat foundation. The algorithm is demonstrated in case of a thin-walled pipe lying on a rigid foundation, and the results are discussed.
