Unilateral Contact: Mechanical Modelling (A. Curnier).- Contact, Friction, Discrete Mechanical Structures and Mathematical Programming (A. Klarbring).- Quasistatic Signorini Problem with Coulomb Friction and Coupling to Adhesion (M. Raous).- Finite Elements for Thermomechanical Contact and Adaptive Finite Element Analysis of Contact Problems (P. Wriggers).

The book gives an overview on formulation, mathematical analysis and numerical solution procedures of contact problems. In this respect the book should be of value to applied mathematicians and engineers who are concerned with contact mechanics.
