The contact of one deformable body with another lies at the heart of almost every mechanical structure. Here, in a comprehensive treatment, two of the field's l

Topics of this book span the range from spatial and temporal discretization techniques for contact and impact problems with small and finite deformations over i

Many physical systems require the description of mechanical interaction across interfaces if they are to be successfully analyzed. Examples in the engineered wo

This monograph describes the numerical analysis of non-linearities in structural mechanics, i.e. large rotations, large strain (geometric non-linearities), non-

This proceedings volume contains 66 papers presented at the second "Contact Mechanics International Symposium" held in Carry-Le-Rouet. France. from September 19
