Abstract
Time-dependent contact problems in rigid body mechanics are studied using concepts from linear complementarity theory. Mechanical systems where friction can be neglected are found to be of simpler structure than those exposed to Coulomb friction. A numerical algorithm is outlined for friction-free problems.
