RT Journal Article T1 A numerical algorithm for a Signorini problem associated with Maxwell–Norton materials by using generalized Newton’s methods A1 Barral Rodiño, Patricia A1 Moreno, C.

We will describe in detail the numerical methods used to solve such problems and derive iterative algorithms. To validate the proposed algorithms we will present some test examples with known analytical solutions. Finally, we will compare the efficiency of the algorithms presented in this paper with others previously proposed by the authors.
