Abstract

The stress-based formulation of elastic contact with Coulomb friction in the form of a quasi-variational inequality is investigated. Weakly symmetric stress approximations are constructed using a finite element combination on the basis of Raviart–Thomas spaces of next-to-lowest order. An error estimator is derived based on a displacement reconstruction and proved to be reliable under certain assumptions on the solution formulated in terms of a norm equivalence in the trace space H1∕2(Γ). Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the adaptive refinement strategy for a Hertzian frictional contact problem in the compressible as well as in the incompressible case.
