Abstract
The importance of contact and friction problems in different application areas is discussed. Methods and algorithms for numerical solutions using the finite element method are presented. Both elastic and elastic plastic materials are included as well as combination of contact and crack problems. The methods are applied to practical applications such as bolted joints, lugs and roller bearings.
