 +====== Contact materials ======
 +
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +For all contact materials, a penalty along the normal direction and a depth at which contact is detected are required. Contact can be:
 +  * positively unilateral  (''UNILATERAL_POSITIF''), contact for $\mbox{gap} \geq 0$ (by default)
 +  * negatively unilateral (''UNILATERAL_NEGATIF''), contact for $\mbox{gap} \leq 0$
 +  * bilateral (''BILATERAL''), contact for both $\mbox{gap} \geq 0$ and $\mbox{gap}\leq 0$
 +
 +
 +__Choice of depth at which contact is detected:__ If the contact matrix is made of circles, the depth must be smaller than the smallest radius. If it is planar, the depth is arbitrary, but a large depth leads to a slow contact detection, when if the depth is too small some contacts can be missed.

 +===== TmFrictionlessContactMaterial =====
 +
 +Thermomechanical contact without friction.
 +
 +The heat flux $q_{N}$ normal to the contact interaction (going out of the slave surface) is given by
 +
 +$$q_{N} = h_c \left(p_{N} \right) \left(T^{S} - T^{M}\left(\bf{\xi}^{S}\right)\right), $$
 +
 +where
 +  * $p_{N}$ is the contact pressure,
 +  * $T^{S}$ is the temperature of the slave node,
 +  * $T^{M}\left(\bf{\xi}^{S}\right)$ is the temperature of a point on the master surface corresponding to the closest projection of the slave node on the master surface,
 +  * $h_c$ is the thermal resistance under conduction.
 + 
 +This thermal resistance under conduction $h_c$ is modeled as 
 +
 +$$h_c \left(p_{N} \right) = h_{c0} \left(\frac{p_{N}}{H_v}\right)^{w}, $$      
 +
 +where 
 +     * $H_v$ Vickers's material hardness ,
 +     * $w$ is an exponent,
