Instabilities of elastic bodies in motion

This thesis consists of two parts. In the first part, a simulation of contact between a two dimensional elastic object in motion in contact with a rigid obstacle under Coulumb friction is developed. Once this simulation is developed, the simulation attempts to find out what initial numerical conditi...
