Abstract

The problem of contact between two elastic bodies is addressed computationally using the virtual element method (VEM). The use of the VEM allows the use of non-matching meshes for the two bodies, and hence obviates the need for node-to-node contact on the candidate contact interfaces. The contact constraint is imposed using either a Lagrange multiplier or penalty formulation. A number of numerical examples illustrate the robustness and accuracy of the algorithm.
