The contact model (13)--(17) describes any instantaneous contact state and therefore can be used beyond the framework of linear elasticity, to simulate the contact process of bodies with complicated response (i.e., elastic-plastic, viscoelastic, inhomogeneous materials), provided the displacement u is properly evaluated.
Numerical Analysis of Elastic Contact between Coated Bodies
Detailed description of real contact area and pressure requires a deterministic approach, for which the numerical simulation, capable of analyzing the contact process involving measured mechanical properties and 3D roughness maps, is best suited.

However, as the nonpenetration constraint is not precisely satisfied during the contact process using this method, the accuracy of numerical simulation depends on the choice of the coefficient of contact stiffness.
