Abstract
In computational contact mechanics problems, local searching requires calculation of the closest point projection of a contactor point onto a given target segment. It is generally supposed that the contact boundary is locally described by a convex region. However, because this assumption is not valid for a general curved segment of a three-dimensional quadratic serendipity element, an iterative numerical procedure may not converge to the nearest...
