It provides a numerical method for membrane contact problems, but the contribution is incremental as it extends existing stabilised methods to a specific application.
The paper develops a stabilised finite element method for friction-free contact between an elastic membrane and a rigid obstacle, with the formulation extendable to more complex cases.
In this paper, we propose a stabilised finite element method for the numerical solution of contact between a small deformation elastic membrane and a rigid obstacle. We limit ourselves to friction--free contact, but the formulation is readily extendable to more complex situations.
