Abstract

A neural network formulation is proposed for the solution of the nonmonotone frictional contact problem. The adopted approach reduces the nonmonotone frictional contact problem to a series of monotone (Coulomb) contact problems. The neural network is used for the numerical solution of the arizing optimization problems. The proposed method is illustrated through the solution of the engineering problem of the frictional contact between two shear walls.
