In <strong>the</strong> previous we consider pseudo-static contact conditions<br />
In dynamic analysis:<br />
Body <strong>for</strong>ces include inertial <strong>for</strong>ce effects <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> kinematic interface<br />
conditions must be satisfied at all instances <strong>of</strong> time, requiring<br />
displacement, velocity <strong>and</strong> acceleration compatibility between <strong>the</strong><br />
contacting bodies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> time integrations schemes (ex. trapezoidal rule) do not<br />
automatically satisfy compatibility which <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e has to be imposed<br />
separately on <strong>the</strong> step by step solution<br />
Various algorithms have been proposed to solve contact problems in<br />
<strong>Finite</strong> <strong>Element</strong> analysis.<br />
