TangentialNodalLMMechanicalContact

Similar to the TangentialMortarLMMechanicalContact object except the constraints are enforced pointwise at nodes instead of in an integral way using the mortar method. Some numerical experiments suggest that the pointwise method of enforcing tangential contact constraints displays worse non-linear convergence than the mortar method.

Implements the KKT conditions for frictional Coulomb contact using an NCP function. Requires that either the relative tangential velocity is zero or the tangential stress is equal to the friction coefficient times the normal contact pressure.
