Abstract

Perturbation techniques have been successfully developed to solve problems in non-linear structural mechanics. Based on asymptotic expansions, these techniques lead to analytic representation of the solution branches. In elasticity, when solving contact problems, two non-linearities can occur due to contact constraints and to geometry. The aim of this paper is to propose an asymptotic numerical method for frictionless contact problems. Three examples of 2-D contact problems will be studied to establish the efficiency of our algorithm.
