Abstract
The contact and friction problems investigated in the previous chapters are based on simple model systems. Even when these models provide a general overview of complex tribological systems, a multitude of tribological problems, especially when they deal with the fine optimization of tribological systems, are not able to be calculated in analytical form. In these cases, researchers and engineers must fall back on numerical methods. At the same time, one must remember that the efficiency of numerical methods is dependent largely on the quality of the preceding analytical preparations.
