A Total FETI (TFETI) based domain decomposition algorithm with preconditioning by a natural coarse grid of rigid body motions is adapted to the solution of two-dimensional multibody contact problems of elasticity with the Coulomb friction and proved to be scalable for the Tresca friction. The algorithm finds an approximate solution at the cost asymptotically proportional to the number of variables provided the ratio of the decomposition parameter and the discretization parameter is bounded The analysis is based on the classical results by Farhat, Mandel, and Roux on scalability of FETI with a natural coarse grid for linear problems and on our development of optimal quadratic programming algorithms for bound and equality constrained problems The algorithm preserves parallel scalability of the classical FETI method Both theoretical results and numerical experiments indicate a high efficiency of our algorithm In addition, its performance is illustrated on analysis of the yielding clamp connection with the Coulomb friction.
