Overview

This is the second edition of the valuable reference source for numerical simulations of contact mechanics suitable for many fields. These include civil engineering, car design, aeronautics, metal forming, or biomechanics. For this second edition, illustrative simplified examples and new discretisation schemes and adaptive procedures for coupled problems are added. This book is at the cutting edge of an area of significant and growing interest in computational mechanics.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: <p> The book is not simply a monograph reviewing the authora (TM)s distinguished research career, but a true textbook covering the research of the major players in computational contact mechanics over the last 25 years and offers an extensive list of references. a ] If I were given the opportunity to teach an advanced special topics course on finite element methods, I wouldna (TM)t hesitate to use this book. For a researcher a ] the text provides an excellent review. (David J. Benson, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (2), 2007)
