    A mixed formulation of mortar-based contact with friction
    (Elsevier, 2013) Temizer, I.
    A classical three-field mixed variational formulation of frictionless contact is extended to the frictional regime. The construction of the variational framework with respect to a curvilinear coordinate system naturally induces projected mortar counterparts of tangential kinetic and kinematic quantities while automatically satisfying incremental objectivity of the associated discrete penalty-regularized mortar constraints. Mixed contact variables that contribute to the boundary value problem are then obtained through unconstrained, lumped or constrained recovery approaches, complemented by Uzawa augmentations. Patch tests and surface locking studies are presented together with local and global quality monitors of the contact interactions in two- and three-dimensional settings at the infinitesimal and finite deformation regimes. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

    A mixed formulation of mortar-based frictionless contact
    (2012) Temizer, I.
    A class of mortar-based frictionless contact formulations is derived based on a classical three-field mixed variational framework. Within a penalty regularization complemented by Uzawa augmentations, discrete mortar constraints are naturally induced by the variational setting. Major aspects of earlier mortar approaches are obtained through constrained, lumped or unconstrained recovery procedures for the mixed kinematic and kinetic mortar quantities from their projected counterparts. Two- and three-dimensional examples at the infinitesimal and finite deformation regimes highlight the local and global quality of the contact interactions. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
