Efficiency and reliability of the estimator are proved under a saturation assumption. Numerical experiments illustrate the theoretical properties and the good performance of the estimator.Residual-based a posteriori error estimation for contact problems approximated by Nitsche's methodtext::journal::journal article::research article
