Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: The book is not simply a monograph reviewing the author'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. ! If I were given the opportunity to teach an advanced special topics course on finite element methods, I wouldn't hesitate to use this book. For a researcher ! the text provides an excellent review.
