Classical and Unilateral Contact Analysis in Statics and Dynamics
Classical and unilateral contact analysis problems in statics and dynamics are considered. Emphasis is posed on the combination of effective tools from the general theory of nonsmooth mechanics with more classical boundary and finite element methods in st

PREFACE
This volume presents and discusses recent advances in Boundary Element Methods ( BEM) and their solid mechanics applications in those areas where these numerical methods prove to be the ideal solution tool. The aim is to illustrate these methods in their most recent forms developed during the last five to ten years and dernonstrafe their advantages when solving a wide range of solid mechanics problems encountered in many branches of engineering, such as civil, mechanical or aeronautical engineering. The volume consists of six chapters, which comprise in an expanded and improved form the Ieelure notes affered during the CISM Advanced School on 'Recent Advances on Boundary Element Methods and Their Solid Mechanics Applications ', Udine, June 2-6, 200J.These chapters rejlect, in general, the state-of-the-art in the field but their emphasis is on research results, which have been mainly developed by the authors, who are themselves specialists in the field ofBEM The speci.fic solid mechanics areas treated in the six chapters of the book are those which have received special attention by researchers in the field during the last five to ten years. These areas include i} Applications to /arge order static and dynamic problems of structural system analysis,including /arge three-dimensional systems,plates and shells and soilstructure interaction ii) Efficient treatment of materially and geometrically nonline
