A semismooth Newton method, based on variational inequalities and generalized derivative, is designed and analysed for unilateral contact problem between two membranes. The problem is first formulated as a corresponding regularized problem with a nonlinear function, which can be solved by the semismooth Newton method. We prove the convergence of the method in the function space. To improve the performance of the semismooth Newton method, we use the path-following method to adjust the parameter automatically. Finally, some numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, we characterize Lipschitzian properties of different multiplier-free and multiplier-dependent perturbation mappings associated with the stationarity system of a so-called generalized nonlinear program popularized by Rockafellar. Special emphasis is put on the investigation of the isolated calmness property at and around a point. The latter is decisive for the locally fast convergence of the so-called semismooth* Newton-type method by Gfrerer and Outrata.

The meshing and limit equations of worm drive usually have strong nonlinearities such as multiple solutions, solution nonexistence and equation singularity. Meanwhile, the tooth surfaces of worm drive are in nonconforming line contact, which often requires mesh refinement of contact region for the loaded contact analysis. These two challenges cause that the modeling of worm drive heavily relies on manual adjustment and the loaded contact analysis of worm drive is still rare especially when edge contact and assembly error are concerned.

A class of variational inequalities describing the equilibrium of elastic Timoshenko plates whose boundary is in contact with the side surface of an inclined obstacle is considered. At the plate boundary, mixed conditions of Dirichlet type and a non-penetration condition of inequality type are imposed on displacements in the mid-plane. The novelty consists of modelling oblique interaction with the inclined obstacle which takes into account shear deformation and rotation of transverse cross-sections in the plate.

In the paper, a variant of the semismooth Newton method is developed for the numerical solution of generalized equations, in which the multi-valued part is a so-called SCD (subspace containing derivative) mapping. Under a rather mild regularity requirement, the method exhibits (locally) superlinear convergence behavior. From the main conceptual algorithm, two implementable variants are derived whose efficiency is tested via a generalized equation modeling a discretized static contact problem with Coulomb friction.
