Numerical Analysis of Contact Problems Involving Friction
10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Golden Cliff
The
objective of this minisymposium is to present current developments
in the area of robust contact algorithms capable of dealing with
multibody contact problems. The bodies may be rigid or elastic and
some of the systems may involve friction and fragmentation. The
minisymposium will feature the formulation and analysis of the
proposed methods, as well as their numerical implementation.
Some of the presentations will provide numerical simulations that
illustrate the performance of the techniques.
