A contact smoothing method for arbitrary surface meshes using Nagata patches

This paper presents a contact surface smoothing method combined with the node-to-segment discretization technique to solve large deformation frictional contact problems between deformable bodies. The Nagata patch interpolation is used to smooth the surface mesh, providing a master surface with quasi...
