AbstractThis paper deals with the full discretization of quasistatic 3D Signorini problems with local Coulomb friction and a coefficient of friction which may depend on the solution. After a time discretization we obtain a system of static contact problems with Coulomb friction. Each of these problems is solved by the T-FETI domain decomposition method used in auxiliary contact problems with Tresca friction. Numerical experiments show the efficiency of the proposed method.
