Numerics of Unilateral Contacts and Friction: Modeling and Numerical Time Integration in Non-Smooth Dynamics (2009): Modeling and Numerical Time Integration in Non-Smooth Dynamics

Numerics of Unilateral Contacts and Friction: Modeling and Numerical Time Integration in Non-Smooth Dynamics (2009): Modeling and Numerical Time Integration in Non-Smooth DynamicsMechanics provides the link between mathematics and practical engineering app cations. It is one of the oldest sciences, and many famous scientists have left and will leave their mark in this fascinating ? eld of research. Perhaps one of the most prominentscientists in mechanics was Sir Isaac Newton, who with his "laws of tion" initiated the description of mechanical systems by differential equations. And still today, more than 300 years after Newton,
