Inequality (unilateral) constraints may introduce various types of singularities in differential‐algebraic systems ([5]). In the present paper we consider contact conditions that are formulated as unilateral constraints for position and velocity coordinates in a mechanical multibody system. If the surfaces of the bodies being in contact are worn then the contact conditions result often in constraints that are only piecewise differentiable. We discuss a regularization that considers qualitatively the elastic deformation of the bodies.
