5.2 Application Phase<br />

The operation <strong>of</strong> the master-slave scheme can be demonstrated in the following example where slave node I lies<br />

between master nodes M and N, as shown in Figure 5.2.1. The location phase algorithm has already determined that<br />

node I has penetrated the master surface segment connecting nodes M and N. Because node I has penetrated the<br />

master surface, the normal force (Rn) and tangential force (Rt) at node I me determined. me coefficient <strong>of</strong> friction><br />

~, is used in conjunction with Rn to determine the threshold valuefor slip, @n. If Rt is less than @n,, then no sliP<br />

occurs and both the values <strong>of</strong> Rn and Rt are transferred to the master swface nodes using a weighting Procedure<br />

based on the position<br />

<strong>of</strong> the slave node along the master segment.<br />

Figure 5.2.1. Schematic showing the penetration <strong>of</strong> the master surface by slave node I. Node I is cinematically<br />

restored to the master surface, and its nodal forces are transfemed to the master surface nodes M<br />

and N.<br />
