This paper deals with the full discretization of quasistatic 3D Signorini problems with local Coulomb friction and a coefficient of friction which may depend on the solution. After a time discretization we obtain a system of static contact problems with Coulomb friction. Each of these problems is solved by the T‐FETI domain decomposition method used in auxiliary contact problems with Tresca friction. Numerical experiments show the efficiency of the proposed method.
