A novel finite element formulation for frictionless contact problems. (English) Zbl 0834.73067

Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 38, No. 15, 2603-2617 (1995).
Summary: This article advocates a new methodology for the finite element solution of contact problems involving bodies that may undergo finite motions and deformations. The analysis is based on a decomposition of the two-body contact problem into two simultaneous sub-problems, and results naturally in geometrically unbiased discretization of the contacting surfaces. A proposed two-dimensional contact element is specifically designed to unconditionally allow for exact transmission of constant normal traction through interacting surfaces.
