NL FE Special Considerations - <strong>The</strong> Contact Problem<br />

Difficult non linear behavior = contact between two or more<br />

bodies<br />

Contacts = From frictionless in small displacement to friction in<br />

general large strain conditions<br />

<strong>Non</strong>linearity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> analysis is not only geometric <strong>and</strong> material<br />

but also contact conditions<br />
