Abstract
We describe here two numerical models for Signorini's contact conditions wi th Lagrange quadratic finite elements. The mathematical analysis for the me thods leads to optimal convergence rates given in this Note. (C) 2000 Acade mie des sciences/Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
