Abstract
A new scheme to simulate the process of 2D contact formation between deformable solids is proposed. The strategy is developed based on the use of coupling finite elements (CFEs) recently developed by Bitencourt Jr. et al. (2015), and applied in this work in the context of small deformations. The technique is tested through a Hertzian contact model between cylinder and plate, and the results obtained show that the proposed approach is able to represent the contact area between solids.
