The author used the contact theory to found the gapelement, and used it to solve the contact force.
利用现有的接触理论和计算方法,在模型的接触处构造了间隙单元来求解接触压力。

The gapelement method is used to analyse two-dimensional elastoviscoplastic contact problem of circular tubes under explosive welding for the first time.
Conclusion: Cable and gap elements are reasonable boundary conditions of the finite element model of mandible, which will improve the similarity of the model.
