Sensitivity analysis for unilateral contact problems: ''Boundary'' variational formulations and B.E.M. discretisations (Q1804529): Difference between revisions

This paper aims at proposing a sensitivity analysis based on ``boundary'' variational formulations and such as to retain most of the mathematical results obtained until now. It allows to take advantage of a discretisation carried out with boundary element methods which appear to be more suitable than finite element models for this class of problems.
