Schematic of the surface integration rules that were implemented and tested for evaluation of the contact integrals for the quadratic triangle facets composing the surface of the tetrahedral elements. Left panel: S3 integration rule. Right panel: S7 integration rule. Open circles represent nodes, filled circles represent integration points. Note that these integration rules are symmetric in spatial distribution.
