The aim of this paper is to present a general method for automation of finite element formulations of large deformation contact problems. A new automatic-differentiation-based notation is introduced that represents a bridge between the... more
The Children's Social Behavior Questionnaire (CSBQ) contains items referring to behavior problems seen in children with milder variants of PDD. Data of large samples of children diagnosed as having high-functioning autism, PDDNOS, ADHD,... more
In this paper, a numerical method to solve the non-linear contact problem between a tyre and the road in the time domain is presented. The response of the tyre is calculated by a convolu- tion between the contact forces and the tyre's... more
Dynamic obstacle and Signorini problems are discretized by continuous and discontinuous finite elements in space and time. The resulting discrete problems are attributed to a standard implicit time-stepping scheme through relaxation of... more
A 3-D domain decomposition method for fully coupled electrothermomechanical contact problems is presented. The formulation is based on the cell method. Contacting domains are linked together by introducing a new reference frame (i.e., the... more
This paper deals with simultaneous topology and shape optimization of elastic contact problems. The structural optimization problem for an elastic contact problem is formulated. Shape as well as topological derivatives formulae of the... more
This article advocates a new methodology for the finite element solution of contact problems involving bodies that may undergo finite motions and deformations. The analysis is based on a decomposition of the two-body contact problem into... more
We use parametric cubic spline functions to develop a numerical method for computing approximations to the solution of a system of second-order boundary-value problems associated with obstacle, unilateral, and contact problems. We show... more
