Dynamic analysis of large deformation contact of elastic bodies

Gwidon Szefer, Dorota Jasińska
The paper presents numerical calculations of dynamic contact problems in the presence of friction and large deformations. Since this kind of boundary-value problems exhibit a strong nonlinearity, the increments of all contact-dependent terms are discussed in details. Different friction models are considered.
Keywords: unilateral contact; friction; large deformations
