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 doe

โฆ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the discrete contact problem governed by Coulombรs friction law. We propose and study a new technique using mixed finite elements with two multipliers in order to determine numerically critical friction coefficients for which multiple solutions to the friction problem exist. The framework is based on eigenvalue problems and it allows to exhibit non-uniqueness cases involving an infinity of solutions located on a continuous branch. The theory is illustrated with several computations which clearly show the accuracy of the proposed method.

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
