Abstract
Beam-to-beam contact is a special case among the broad range of possibilities of contact between bodies, that are continuously discussed and analysed in the engineering literature. It requires specific procedures of contact search, unique criteria of contact existence and definition of the contact finite element. The scope of literature on this topic is relatively small. The aim of the present work was to fill this gap.
