According the principles of the inequality variations
the existence and the uniqueness of the solution have been verified for elastic contact problems
which contain friction forces between the contact surfaces.Thus the contact problems are made to be equivalent to the quardratic programming problems.By using the basic idea of supplement
the objects of a contact system is discreted and then lumped to the contact boundaries
then an resultant stiffness matrix is formed and a linear supplementary equation of non negative variables
υ adn λ
is also derived in the light of the non penetration condition of the normal displacements of the contact surfaces and the Conlumb friction law
etc.By the direct use of the Lemke algorithm of quardratic programming method
the scope of solution is limited to the contact boundaries.The whole field information is therefore obtained from further solution of the subelements.Such an algorithm enables to eliminate effectively the convergence instability which used to appear in the iteration methods in solving the problems.The results of calculations of the lug tooths contact stresses are fitted with the experimental data quite well.
