Compared to step-41, step (1) is added but it should be clear
-from the sections above that we only linearize the problem. In step (2) we have to solve a linear
-system of equations again. And now the solution has to fulfill two stopping
-criteria. $\mathcal{A}_{k+1} = \mathcal{A}_k$ makes sure that the contact zones are iterated out and the second ensures an accurate enough residual which means

+Meth. Engng, 2007, 69, pp. 524-543. But in advance we apply a line search to
+obtain a more robust method regarding the start value. Solving an elastic
+problem in the very first step ($k=1$) we get a reasonable start value but as
+you can see in the results damping is important if we choose for example a ball as
+obstacle.
+
+Damping our Newton method is more important for the nonlinearity cause by the
+constitutive law as for the contact. For this reason we start to damp our method
+for $k>2$ when we have two plastic iterations. Note that $U^1$ is a solution of
+an elastic problem and $U^2$ is the first plastic solution. A linear combination
+between these both results in stresses which are not in the convex set
+of the feasible stresses.
