The use of a non-classical friction law in finite-element analysis of contact problems

Bibliography: leaves 82-84. === In this thesis a description is given of the numerical treatment of contact problems in elasticity. Frictional effects on the contact surface are modelled by using a nonlocal, nonlinear friction law. Features of the boundary value problem, which merit special attentio...
