Application of contact elements to represent prismatic mechanical couplings

Accurate prediction of loads on mechanical couplings is crucial in assessment of loads on coupled structures and in optimization of mechanical coupling design. In this paper, a contact element model is introduced to represent prismatic joints. A twofold pushing convoy in shallow water was taken for...
