1062 Estimation of Contact Stress Distribution by Alternating Boundary Element Inverse Scheme Using Quadratic Elements

Abstract

Inverse boundary value problem involves incompletely-prescribed boundary. The problem has an ill-posedness. Alternating boundary element inverse scheme can be one of the regularization methods. In this study, contact stress distribution on the incompletely-prescribed boundary is estimated by applying the alternating boundary element inverse scheme with the quadratic elements. Estimated distributions are compared with these obtained by using the linear elements.
