Finite difference methods have long been used to approximate the solution of ordinary or partial differential equations (PDEs). These methods involve discretizing the domain of interest into a structured mesh of grid points and approximating derivatives by difference Numerical simulation of contact mechanics problems has been one of the research topics of main interest over the last decades. Contact mechanics problems arises in many application fields in both mechanical and civil engineering, such as crashworthiness, projectile impact
