This review article focuses on the problems related to numerical simulation of finite
dimensional nonsmooth multibody mechanical systems. The rigid body dynamical case is …

Moving interfaces between media play an important role in technological and natural
processes. The development of methods for solving problems with moving interfaces is one …

A model considering both unilateral contact, Coulomb friction, and adhesion is presented. In
the framework of continuum thermodynamics, the contact zone is considered as a material …

Tribologists are confronted on a daily basis by the need to understand the causes and
consequences of friction on the behaviour of bodies in contact. Understanding contact …

In this paper, some new generalized Newton's methods for the resolution of elastostatic
frictional contact problem approximated by finite elements are presented and compared to …

In modern turbo machines such as aircraft jet engines, structural contacts between the
casing and bladed disk may occur through a variety of mechanisms: coincidence of vibration …

The model reduction of mechanical problems involving contact remains an important issue
in computational solid mechanics. In this article, we propose an extension of the hyper …

This paper presents gradient type algorithms to solve frictional multi-contact problems
written as quasi-optimization problems. A single loop scheme formally close to the classical …

In this chapter, we review several formulations of the discrete frictional contact problem that
arises in space and time discretized mechanical systems with unilateral contact and three …

We present a domain decomposition method with Lagrange multipliers for solving iteratively
frictionless contact problems. This method, which is based on the FETI method and therefore …
