The paper is concerned with the shape optimal design of a large displacement contact problem. Contact wilth the prescribed friction is assumed. The optimal design problem consists of finding the domain boundary in the contact zone to minimize the contact stress. The mixed finite element method is us

An ecient algorithm of contact is presented for the boundary element analysis of the static two-dimensional frictional contact problem between elastic solids. The algorithm guarantees equilibrium and compatibility at the nodes in the ยฎnal deformed conยฎguration and it allows us to deal with problems
In structural mechanics, nearly all the current computations for time dependent nonlinear problems (e.g. plasticity, viscoplasticity or damage) use step-by-step methods. In contrast, for small displacement problems, the large time incremental (LATIN) method, introduced by Lade&e [C.r. Acad. Sci. Pa
Adaptive finite element methods have been developed over the last ten years for engineering problems in solid and fluid mechanics. They provide a tool for accurate and reliable analysis which is needed in many applications. The use of these techniques within contact problems is advantageous since th
