We consider variationally consistent discretization schemes for mechanical contact
problems. Most of the results can also be applied to other variational inequalities, such as …

In the production and gathering process of natural gas with the high sulfur content, due to
the variations in temperature, pressure, and other factors, sulfur dissolved in the gas may be …

We consider frictional contact problems in small strain elasticity discretized with finite
elements and Nitsche method. Both bilateral and unilateral contact problems are taken into …

Several fixed point strategies and Uzawa algorithms (for classical and augmented
Lagrangian formulations) are presented to solve the unilateral contact problem with …

We study the Nitsche-based finite element method for contact with Coulomb friction
considering both static and dynamic situations. We provide existence and/or uniqueness …

The purpose of this paper is to study the solutions to the Signorini problem with Coulomb
friction (the so-called Coulomb problem). Some optimal a priori estimates are given, and a …

We study a model of interfacial crack between two bonded dissimilar linearized elastic
media. The Coulomb friction law and non-penetration condition are assumed to hold on the …

The main motivation of this work is to develop a numerical strategy for the shape
optimization of a rolling elastic structure under contact with respect to a uniform rolling …

The present paper is concerned with the unilateral contact model and the Coulomb friction
law in linear elastostatics. We consider a mixed formulation in which the unknowns are the …

Bifurcation and stability of irreversible systems in plasticity have widely been studied in the
literature devoted to Solid Mechanics and are now well understood. The same criteria are of …
