The paper deals with application of the FETI (Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting) method to finite element solution of contact problems while taking into account another non-linearity) namely the large displacements and rotations. We show, in terms of numerical experiments (i) performance of the algorithms stemming from the FETI method, in particular its numerical and parallel scalabilities and optimality of the dual penalty, and (ii) solution of a Hertzian contact problem, i.e. achieved accuracy of the numerical solution by comparison with the analytical one, and the convergence rate.
