Unilateral contact applications using Fem software Unilateral contact applications using Fem software Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-142002enNonsmooth analysis, inequality constrained optimization and variational inequalities are involved in the modelling of unilateral contact problems. The corresponding theoretical and algorithmic tools, which are part of the area known as nonsmooth mechanics, are by no means classical. In general purpose software some of these tools (perhaps in a simplified way) are currently available. Two engineering applications, a rubber-coated roller contact problem and a masonry wall, solved with MARC, are briefly presented, together with elements of the underlying theoryhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science121115–125Stavroulaki_Stavroulakis_International Journal of Applied Mathematics Computer Science_Vol 12(1)_2002.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-10-14application/pdf728.5 kBfree Stavroulaki Maria Σταυρουλακη Μαρια Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος Applied mechanics Engineering, Mechanical mechanics applied applied mechanics engineering mechanical
