Computational contact mechanics is a broad topic which brings together algorithmic, geometrical, optimization and numerical aspects for a robust, fast and accur

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

Introduction to Computational Contact Mechanics: A Geometrical Approach covers the fundamentals of computational contact mechanics and focuses on its practical

This book contains a systematical analysis of geometrical situations leading to contact pairs -- point-to-surface, surface-to-surface, point-to-curve, curve-to-

This book describes for the first time a simulation method for the fast calculation of contact properties and friction between rough surfaces in a complete form
