MS16
Numerical Analysis of Contact Problems Involving Friction

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Golden Cliff

NewThe objective of this minisymposium is to present current developments in the area of robust contact algorithms capable of dealing with multibody contact problems. The bodies may be rigid or elastic and some of the systems may involve friction and fragmentation. The minisymposium will feature the formulation and analysis of the proposed methods, as well as their numerical implementation.  Some of the presentations will provide numerical simulations that illustrate the performance of the techniques.
