In this paper a further method is presented to solve problems involving contact mechanics. The basic idea is related to a special modification of the unconstrained functional to include inequality constraints. The modification is constructed in such a way that minimal point of the unconstrained pote

Two-and three-dimensional frictional contact problems are uniformly formulated as a system of nondifferentiable equations based on variational inequality theory. Through constructing a simple continuously differentiable approximation function to the non-differentiable one, the smoothing Newton metho
The success of modern heuristics (Simulated Annealing (S.A.), Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithms, . . . ) in solving classical combinatorial optimization problems has drawn the attention of the research community in multicriteria methods. In fact, for large-scale problems, the simultaneous difficultie
## Abstract The paper presents a semiโimplicit algorithm for solving an unsteady fluidโstructure interaction problem. The algorithm for solving numerically the fluidโstructure interaction problems was obtained by combining the backward Euler scheme with a semiโimplicit treatment of the convection t
Unsteady interfacial problems, considered in an Eulerian form, are studied. The phenomena are modeled using the incompressible viscous Navier-Stokes equations to get the velocity field and an advection equation to predict interface evolutions. The momentum equation is solved by means of an implicit
