Abstract

The paper deals with an iterative method for numerical solving frictionlesscontact problems for two elastic bodies. Each iterative step consists of aDirichlet problem for the one body, a contact problem for the other one and twoNeumann problems to coordinate contact stresses. Convergence is proved by theBanach fixed point theorem in both continuous and discrete case. Numericalexperiments indicate scalability of the algorithm for some choices of therelaxation parameter.
