Assumptions
Numerical formulation of kinematics and constitutive relations concerning contact can be completely independent of the material model used for the description of contacting bodies. All properties of contact itself are included in additional terms of the functional (1.21) or (1.22), which are determined for active constraints. On the other hand, all the properties related to pure deformations of beams are included in the components of the formula (1.4). Such a statement does not exclude a possibility of a real relation between the properties corresponding to the body interior and to its surface. Nevertheless, in the pure contact analysis these two zones can be treated separately.
