The derivation of an a posteriori error estimator for frictionless contact problems under the hypotheses of linear elastic behaviour and inΓΏnitesimal deformation is presented. The approximated solution of this problem is obtained by using the ΓΏnite element method. A penalization or augmented-Lagrang
A mixed triangular finite element model has been developed for plate bending problems in which effects of shear deformation are included. Linear distribution for all variables is assumed and the matrix equation is obtained through Reissner's variational principle. In this model, interelement compati
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
## Abstract The solution of elastostatic bodies in frictionless contact is obtained by an automated direct method which exploits the theory of linear elasticity and circumvents the need for the inclusion of artificial interface elements, mathematical programming techniques or computation of contact
