Abstract

In this work we consider a stabilized Lagrange multiplier method in order to approximate the Coulomb frictional contact model in linear elastostatics. The particularity of the method is that no discrete inf-sup condition is needed. We study the existence and the uniqueness of solution of the discrete problem.
