Abstract
The Boundary Element (BE) method is applied to rigid body contact problems. A brief overview of the BE contact formulation is presented, with modifications to incorporate rigid body contact problems. Three examples of rigid body contact involving rigid cylinders and rigid inclusions are presented to verify the accuracy of the BE formulation.
