Abstract: The formulation of boundary element method for handling contact
problems with friction and the technique for high-speed contact
analysis are presented. This formulation is based on the idea of
modifying the length of contact elements without altering the
total number of elements. The high precision of solution and
high-speed analysis are verified according to the results of
conventional method and analysis method.
Key words: Contact
