The implication of selecting different contact algorithms in solving a contact problem by a submodelling approach is highlighted using the example of a partial slip Cattaneo-Mindlin problem. It is shown that, by employing a penalty formulation, the state of partial slip can be incorrectly predicted as full sliding whereas a Lagrange formulation predicts the correct slipstick behaviour. The displacements along the centre-line of contact are calculated by analytical approach and compared with finite element results. It is found that the Lagrange multiplier approach predictions match the analytical results well, but prediction by the penalty formulation is sensitive to the slip tolerance selected. It is concluded that care should be exercised while using the penalty formulation for displacement-controlled problems.
