Using the finite element method a numerical procedure is developed for the solution of the two‐dimensional frictional contact problems with Coulomb's law of friction. The formulation for this procedure is reduced to a complementarity problem. The contact region is separated into stick and slip regions and the contact stress can be solved systematically by applying the solution technique of the complementarity problem. Several examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the present formulation.
