This cluster of papers focuses on computational contact mechanics, particularly on the modeling and numerical analysis of contact, friction, and variational inequalities in the context of finite element methods. The research addresses various aspects such as large deformation, viscoelastic materials, nonlinear dynamics, and the development of numerical algorithms for solving contact problems.
