Abstract
This paper presents a general procedure for solving 3D contact problem s with implicit finite element codes. Emphasis is put on generality an d robustness. Bodies in contact can be 3D solids or shells. Material a nd geometric nonlinearities can he dealt with (elasto-plasticity, elas to-visco-plasticity, nonlinear elasticity, large displacements, strain s and rotations). Different kinds of interaction are supported (tied, slip, friction). Advantage is taken of the solution history in order t o improve the efficiency of the search algorithm. Numerical examples i llustrate the general character of the proposed algorithm.
