Adaptive finite element techniques for frictional contact problems involving large elastic strains
An adaptive finite element method is developed for large strain problems of two or more deformable bodies being in frictional contact. For this purpose, we discuss new error indicators and error estimators related to the contact area. Based on these quantities and the known estimates for the solid body, a numerical method is constructed which allows an automatic mesh refinement.
