- Abstract
This paper is concerned with finite deformations of elastic bodies in the presence of unilateral constraints. The penalty formulation is applied to introduce the contact constraints. We develop special isoparametric contact elements. Starting from their Gaussian points the distance between the body and the obstacle is determined, where the obstacle is given as a C2 continuous function. Variation and subsequent consistent linearization yield the tangent matrix of the contact elements in its general form, which can be incorporated into standard finite element schemes.
