Example47 Peel Off

General

  • The “peel off”, one of the settings of the simple contact boundary condition, is studied in this exercise.
     

  • Two cubes are sandwiched by two plates. Both cubes are attached to the upper plate. The right cube is sticky and adheres to the lower plate. The left cube does not adhere to the lower plate at all. Their simple boundary conditions reflect the difference.
     

  • Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

Model

Two cubes are sandwiched by two plates. Both cubes are attached to the upper plate. The top face of the upper plate and the bottom face of the lower plate are fixed.

The right cube is sticky and adheres to the lower plate. The left cube does not adhere to the lower plate at all. Their simple boundary conditions reflects the difference.

Results

The deformation and the maximum principal stresses (vectors) are shown below for each step.

 

< Step 1 / Reached temperature = 50 deg. >

 

Slip Bond

 

 

The cubes expand due to the temperature rise.

The left cube slips on the lower plate and the right cube adheres to the lower plate.

 

< Step 2 / Reached temperature = 0 deg. >

 

Off contact Bond

 

 

The cubes contract due to the descent of the temperature.

The left cube is off the lower plate. The right cube still adheres to the plate because the tensile stress on the boundary is less than the peel-off withstanding strength (5[kPa]).

 

< Step 3 / Reached temperature = -25 deg. >

 

Off contact Off contact

 

 

Finally, the right cube is off the lower plate because the tensile stress exceeds the peel strength.
