Programme

Contact interactions are present in many engineering applications. The course will present basic concepts of modern contact mechanics and selected advanced topics:

  1. Overview of contact phenomena
  2. Continuum contact mechanics in the small- and finite-strain formulation 3. Computational methods for contact mechanics: finite element discretization and treatment of contact constraints 4. Constitutive modelling of contact phenomena, including micromechanical approaches
