[EPIC] Contact mechanics

[CusiniM]

Description

The goal of this issue is to keep track of all developments related to modeling of contact mechanics.

Work Scope

A discussion about what work will be done to achieve the goals of this EPIC.

Issues in this EPIC

• Implement node-to-node penalty-based contact  #2383
• Placeholder for issue/PR to implement node-to-node contact with nodal Lagrange multiplier
• Placeholder for issue/PR to implement MGR recipes for Coupled singlephase poromechanics with Lagrange multiplier contact

[jhuang2601]

My comments to this work:

• Add MGR recipes for Lagrange Contact solver with single phase and multiphase flow
• Quasi-dynamic fault rupture with state dependent friction and induced seismicity

[IsaacJu-debug]

My two main work items for this EPIC:

• Integrate Lagrange contact solver with Virtual Element Method to solve contact mechanics problem
• Incorporate the effect of hydraulic active fractures on the contact mechanics problem
