Abstract
A strategy to treat 3D impact computation with frictional contact is presented. This approach is composed of a meso-model of the structure associated with a non-incremental resolution method called LATIN method. The goal of this approach is to assess the major obstacles encountered during this computational procedure and to define and apply a strategy that enables treating real three-dimensional assemblies. Therefore, several examples demonstrate the feasibility of the method and its capacity in treating shock-related and friction problems.
