Contact mechanics plays a central role in many engineering applications and remains a challenging topic in numerical simulation due to the presence of strong nonlinearities. This paper presents a review of contact formulations developed within the framework of isogeometric analysis (IGA). After outlining classical finite element contact approaches ...

This paper presents a comprehensive condition assessment of the campus garage at the University of Banja Luka. The assessment methodology included visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete using rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods, and proof load testing of the primary roof truss. Deformations were monitored usi...

Progress and demands of all types of constructions imposed the need for the development of modernstructures that are lightweight, but at the same time have high damping capacity and stiffness. Theconsequences of these requirements are increased dynamic problems related to vibrations anddissipative processes in structure connection joints. Structura...

Problems involving contact are of great importance in industry related to mechanical and civilengineering, but also in biomechanics and other applications. The contact interaction betweensurfaces and different bodies like in a bolted splice connection joint or area in which a tire interactswith the soil is not known a priori, leading to a nonlinear...
