- Abstract
A new implementation of the mortar method is proposed to solve 2D contact problems. The size of the contact zone can be varied continuously by means of the definition of an intermediate contact surface. It has been proved that this is equivalent to using special shape functions for the interpolation of the contact pressure. A formulation is proposed to find the correct size of the contact zone that minimizes the lack of smoothness of the contact pressure.
