Numerical Methods for Strong Nonlinearities in Mechanics deals with recent advances in the numerical treatment of contact/friction and damage phenomena. Although physically distinct, these phenomena both lead to a strong nonlinearity in the mechanical problem, therefore limiting the regularity of the problem, which is now non-differentiable.
This has two direct consequences: on the one hand, the mathematical characteristics of the problem deviate from wellestablished forms, requiring innovative discretization schemes; on the other hand, the low regularity makes it particularly difficult to solve the corresponding large-scale algebraic systems robustly and efficiently. In addition, neither the uniqueness, nor the existence of solutions, remain assured, resulting in bifurcation points, limit loads and structural instabilities, which are always tricky to overcome numerically.

For 40 years now, numerical simulation has become essential for studying the behavior of structures, from design to operational analyses, and in many industrial fields (building, transport, energy, manufacturing, etc.). Along with the advances in the physics of materials and computer science, it allows for a more realistic description than ever before. Nonetheless, two phenomena raise numerical difficulties to an extent that they still remain, to this day, the main subject of a large body of research: these are the questions concerning contact and friction, on the one hand, and damage mechanics, on the other hand. This is all the more critical considering that these mechanisms are often involved in the response of a structure to external loading. And due to the lack of robust numerical solutions, the design engineer may be compelled to overlook them – or at least to approach them in a crude manner – at the risk of the simulation incurring potential loss of reliability, which in turn requires that more margins of error be taken, usually with an impact on economic and ecological costs.
Although physically distinct, the phenomena of frictional contact and damage both result in a strong nonlinearity of the mechanical problem. They are actually characterized by a threshold behavior (detachment/contact; elasticity/damage) that restricts the regularity of the problem, now non-differentiable (non-smooth mechanics). In addition, this loss of regularity has the disadvantage of involving the main variables of the problem (displacement, speed and damage), with two direct consequences: on the one hand, the mathematical characteristics of the problem shift away from well-controlled forms and require in particular innovative discretization schemes, and, on the other hand, the low regularity persists at the scale of the degrees of freedom of the discretized problem. This makes it particularly difficult for solving the corresponding large algebraic systems in a robust and efficient manner. Moreover, neither uniqueness nor even the existence of solutions can be established, which is reflected by the presence of bifurcation points, limit loads and structural instabilities, which prove always challenging to overcome at the numerical level. Finally, the coupling of these phenomena with other nonlinearities such as plasticity or large deformations results in further weakening the entire numerical structure.
As far as couplings are concerned, the phenomena of contact-friction and damage also interact with each other. In fact, during the final stage of damage, macroscopic cracks appear. It is then necessary to solve the problem of frictional contact between the crack lips. This is also the case at the microscopic scale, where damage can be interpreted – depending on the materials – as a network of microcracks or decohesion between particles and matrix: the contact and friction conditions then have a direct impact on the damage model, in particular its unilateral response according to whether the microcracks open or close. Finally, some damage models aim to concentrate degradation phenomena on surfaces rather than distributing them in the bulk. These are then referred to as cohesive models whose shape is closely similar to that of frictional contact laws. If on top of that we add the fact that loading and kinematic relations of mechanical parts generally derive from a frictional contact mechanism, it is thus most of the time all of the nonlinearities of the problem that may simultaneously occur, at the cost of increased numerical complexity.
The collection of numerical tools deployed to address these problems includes some of the topics that will be examined in this book and can already be mentioned:
alternatives to the traditional Newton method better suited to regular problems;
methods for solving non-symmetric problems that result from the potentially unassociated nature of damage and friction laws;
continuation methods for passing critical points and adjusting loading changes in the vicinity of the limit loads;
geometric methods for surface detection and changes, namely contact surfaces, cracks resulting from the location of the damage field or the boundary of the damaged area;
spatial discretization schemes based on mixed finite elements for avoiding possible numerical locking problems;
finite element techniques for representing discontinuity surfaces within or between meshes.
The authors of the book have contributed their particular perspectives on these issues. Therefore, Franz Chouly, Patrick Hild and Yves Renard propose Lagrangian, augmented Lagrangian and Nitsche methods, recently applied, for addressing frictional contact problems. They provide a fine mathematical analysis within the framework of small elastic perturbations. They show the relationships between these methods within the framework of small and large deformations. Pierre Alart is interested in solving qualified systems with diffuse non-regularity, that is, for which non-regularity travels through the system through a multitude of potential contacts. This concerns both granular media and structures (tensegrity systems, for example). Domain decomposition-based techniques are analyzed. Vladislav A. Yastrebov is dedicated to numerical methods for addressing contact problems at small scales, namely for surfaces where roughness is taken into account. He shows the peculiarities of numerical processing of such problems. In the second part, Jacques Besson covers ductile damage. He addresses the issue of coupling between large strain plasticity and damage and that of spatial localization of damage, which often requires the introduction of an additional balance equation deriving from the microstructures of the material. This last issue is also considered by Eric Lorentz for brittle damage, more brutal than the previous one, insisting on the role of this new nonlocal equation and its numerical processing, which can alternatively be interpreted as a regularization of a cracking problem, in the spirit of phase field models. It is also an opportunity to examine numerical methods adapted to the treatment of instabilities as a result of the brutal nature of brittle damage. The nonlocal equation leads to a spatial organization of damage that also could be imposed directly: this is the guiding principle behind the thick level set (TLS) method presented by Nicolas Moës. The problem is rewritten in terms of finding a level surface corresponding to the boundary of the damaged area. This modeling of damage also builds a bridge to cracking models in which the major numerical problem remains the representation of a crack without a priori on the mesh, typically via extended finite element (XFEM) elements that encapsulate the description of a displacement discontinuity (the crack) and the surrounding volume. Finally, Sylvia Feld-Payet focuses on the transition from damage to crack. More particularly, she addresses the issues of geometric crack detection from a damage field, remeshing accordingly to explicitly represent the new crack and transferring fields from the old to the new mesh, which is being computed.
