Abstract
In this Chapter we introduce the basic method for the derivation of boundary integral formulations for inequality contact problems. Here the method is illustrated with respect to the Signorini-Fichera problem. In this Chapter we have avoided the mathematical study of the questions of existence of solution etc., which are treated in the next Chapter. Let us notice, in advance, that the procedure followed in all the forthcoming Chapters with respect to linear elastic bodies holds also for beams, plates and shells, or generally speaking for all structures permitting a formulation of the equilibrium problem in terms of Lagrangian functions.
