Semi-analytical methods are commonly used to solve contact problems. These methods
require the discretization of the domain into a mesh of pressure elements. In general, it
can be said that their accuracy increases as the pressure element mesh is refined. However,
the refinement of the pressure element mesh also implies an increase in their
computational cost. So, in the great majority of the cases, a commitment between accuracy
and computational cost must be achieved. In this work, a new approach is
presented, whose main purpose is to improve the efficiency of the semi-analytical
methods that are used to solve contact problems. To do so, an adaptive refinement of
the pressure element mesh is implemented. This strategy allows for a reduction of the
computational cost of the method, while its accuracy remains unaffected. [-]
