Summary: In this work, we will presente a comparison of two formulation for the discretization of elastodynamic contact problems. The first approach consists on a midpoint scheme and a contact condition expressed in terms of velocity. This approach gives an energy conserving scheme. The second one we propose is a new distribution of the solid mass. The problem expressed with the new mass matrix is well posed, energy conserving and has a lipschitz solution. Finally, some numerical results are presented.
