Overview: Systematic description of a finite element analysis of beam-to-beam contact.Written by experts in this fieldPhenomena occurring during a contact of two bodies are encountered in everyday life. In reality almost every type of motion is related to frictional contact between a moving body and a ground. Moreover, modeling of simple and more complex processes as nailing, cutting, vacuum pressing, movement of machines and their elements, rolling or, finally, a numerical simulation of car crash tests, requires taking contact into account.Therefore, its analysis has been a subject of many re
