DFG-Projekt HE 5943/1
The aim of this research project is the development of numerical methods for the simulation of frictional contact problems for bodies subject to large deformations. The nowadays dominant contact description, the Node-to-Segment (NTS) method is going to be replaced by the variational consistent Mortar method. This method allows a more efficient treatment of contact problems, since an extremely fine discretization of the contact surface is avoidable.

The application of a structure preserving time integration scheme, to be developed within this research project allows an efficient treatment of the transient systems. The algorithmic fulfillment of physical properties like the momentum maps is of major importance. It is expected that the newly developed integrator improves properties such as accuracy, numerical stability and robustness considerably.
