Modelling friction near sharp edges using a Eulerian reference frame: application to aluminium extrusion

When using a Eulerian finite element approach to model the material deformation that occurs in e.g. forming processes, the accurate capturing of friction is of crucial importance to the quality of the computational results. For the algorithm that incorporates the frictional phenomena into the system of equations, the direction of the contact surface normal in a node is an essential parameter. However, this normal is not uniquely defined in the nodes of a curved, discretized surface. Therefore, a substitute normal has to be reconstructed.
