The calculation of the energy release rate of a debonding interface crack between fiber and
matrix in plane strain requires a knowledge of the stress state and displacements at the …

We present a semi-analytical approach for three-dimensional elastostatic normal contact
problems with friction. The numerical approach to iteration on contact area and stick zone …

The analysis of elastic quasi-brittle structures containing cohesive cracks and contacts with
friction is given a unitary formulation in the framework of incremental plasticity. Integral …

A procedure to solve two-dimensional frictionless contact problems between two bodies not
necessarily modeled with identical discretizations is presented. The procedure is based on …

Non-conforming discretizations of the surfaces involved in the contact problem are
sometimes required, due to the geometry and/or the load. A strong application of the contact …

An incremental procedure to deal with the three-dimensional contact problem using the
boundary element method is presented. The Coulomb friction law is used without …

A two-dimensional anisotropic elastic or viscoelastic solid indented by multiple rigid
punches is considered. By taking the rigid body translation and rotation of each punch as the …

Contact problems where the final contact zone is smaller than the original are referred to by
the generic name of receding contact. The particular characteristics of this kind of problem …
