Abstract: In the present paper, a computational algorithm is proposed for the motion of a beam which is constrained by unilateral contact at prescribed contact sites. Special attention is focused on the ...

Abstract: In the present paper an algorithm for frictional contact between two elastic bodies is presented. The algorithm is applied to the calculation of the evolution of contact pressure between two ...

Abstract: In the present paper the problem of contact with friction between two elastic bodies is formulated in the form of variational inequalities using half-plane assumptions for the elastic behavior. ...

Abstract: In this paper a mathematical formulation and a numerical algorithm for the analysis of impact of rigid bodies against rigid obstacles are developed. The paper concentrates on three-dimensional ...
