Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the mortar method with a segment-to-segment approach used for connecting non-conforming and non-overlapping meshes and for the contact between two elastic bodies. We briefly review the theory, present our Matlab implementation and compare results on benchmarks. We compare our results with the analytical solution of Hertz stress and popular commercial software Ansys.
