A direct elimination algorithm for quasi-static and dynamic contact problems
A new direct elimination algorithm for full stick and frictionless quasi-static and dynamic contact problems has been developed and implemented. Conserving time stepping algorithms have been used within the framework of the new contact formulation. A selected number of quasi-static and dynamic numerical examples has been chosen to show the performance of the new contact formulation. The performance of the conserving time stepping algorithm has been shown for a frictionless case.
