Segment-to-segment penalty contact between element faces: each secondary face and each main face facing it are projected onto the secondary face's plane, split into triangles, clipped (Sutherland–Hodgman) and integrated with a three-point rule per sub-triangle (Puso–Laursen segmentation, the penalty at the integration points as Fischer–Wriggers), so a uniform pressure gives the consistent nodal forces on both meshes and the contact patch test passes on non-matching meshes. Every contact runs both ways at half the penalty: pairs with each surface as the secondary, general and self contact face against face. A bucket grid of face boxes every increment, faces integrated in parallel and their forces added in face order: the same numbers on any thread count. The penalty per area ε = s γ min(m/A)/Δt² comes from the lumped masses, each node's directional area and the stable increment, bounded by Gershgorin's row sums so contact never shortens the increment. Coulomb friction with exponential decay by a regularised return map at the secondary nodes; rigid walls take Coulomb impulses. Contact work and friction dissipation join the energy balance; each contact reports its peak force, first and last contact, deepest penetration, friction and the nodes adjusted at the start (initial penetrations adjusted strain-free or refused with the node, face and depth); a cap on contact faces. Verified (crates/explicit/tests/contact.rs, tests/oracle/explicit-*): colliding bars (2L/c +1.2%, ρcAv₀/2, KE kept to 0.005%, contact energy back to 8e-5 of it), blocks sliding to a stop on a rigid wall and on a plate under constant and decaying friction (0.005–0.2%), the patch test (σ_zz uniform to 0.06%), two spheres colliding against Hertz (peak +2.3%, duration −0.4%; the oracle case waits for a graded sphere mesher), a free body untouched by general contact, determinism across threads. Oracle measures gain `over` (ratios). Existing fixtures do not move. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NmAttHhUZTokgPeEJia8sm
Two identical elastic bars colliding (explicit contact)
Two bars 10 × 0.1 × 0.1 of 200 one-point hex8 elements each (E = 10⁴, ρ = 1, ν = 0, c = 100), end to end and touching at x = 10 with separate nodes; the first moves at v₀ = 0.1 into the second, at rest. A frictionless contact pair joins the two end faces (each face's nodes kept out of the other, segment to segment). One-dimensional theory: the bars stay in contact for 2L/c = 0.2 with a force ρcAv₀/2 across the interface, then the striker stops and the struck bar leaves at v₀ with all the kinetic energy. Linear bulk viscosity is off (it dissipates at the wave fronts). Solved to t = 0.3.
