✦ Synopsis

A new perimeter for shapes composed of cells is defined. This perimeter is called the contact perimeter, which corresponds to the sum of the boundaries of neighboring cells of the shape. Also, a relation between the perimeter of the shape and the contact perimeter is presented.

The contact perimeter corresponds to the measure of compactness proposed here called discrete compactness. In this case, the term compactness does not refer to point-set topology, but is related to intrinsic properties of objects.

## Abstract This work presents a new approach to the transient rolling contact of two‐dimensional elastic bodies. A solution will be obtained by minimizing a general B‐differentiable function representing the equilibrium equations and the contact conditions at each time step. Inertial effects are n

A radial point interpolation meshless (or radial PIM) method was proposed by authors to overcome the possible singularity associated with only polynomial basis. The radial PIM used multiquadric (MQ) or Gaussian as basis functions. These two radial basis functions all included shape parameters. Altho
