Using the finite element method a numerical procedure is developed for the solution of the two-dimensional frictional contact problems with Coulomb's law of friction. The formulation for this procedure is reduced to a complementarity problem. The contact region is separated into stick and slip regio

โฆ Synopsis
A new finite element solution method for the analysis of frictional contact problems is presented. The contact problem is solved by imposing geometric constraints on the pseudo equilibrium configuration, defined as a configuration at which the compatibility conditions are violated. The algorithm does not require any a prinri knowlcdge of the pairs of contactor nodes or segments. The contact condition of sticking, slipping, rolling or tension release is determined from the relative magnitudcs of the normal and tangential global nodal forces. Contact iterations are in general found to converge within one or two iterations. The analysis method is applied to selected problems to illustrate the applicability of the solution procedure.

Existing solution techniques which are based upon the variational inequalities description of frictional contact problems mostly adopt penalty and regularization methods. The convergence and accuracy of these methods are governed by user defined parameters. To overcome the difficulties associated wi
