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

In this paper, we discuss an inverse problem in elasticity for determining a contact domain and stress on this domain. We show that this problem is an ill-posed problem, and we establish the uniqueness and ΒΈ-conditional stability estimation for the stress.
## Dedicated to G. C. Hsiao on the occasion of his 60th birthday The two-dimensional frictionless contact problem of linear isotropic elasticity in the half-space is treated as a boundary variational inequality involving the Poincare-Steklov operator and discretized by linear boundary elements. Qua
