...F. Lebon This paper is the description of a new two‐grid algorithm to solve frictional contact problems. A regularized formulation is introduced and the discretized problem is solved using an internal non linear two‐grid technique coupled with a diagonal fixed point algorithm. Mathematical...

...ZHI‐HUA ZHONG; JAROSLAV MACKERLE Contact problems are among the most difficult ones in mechanics. Due to its practical importance, the problem has been receiving extensive research work over the years. The finite element method has been widely used to solve contact problems with various grades...
