This thesis addresses finite element methods for saddle point problems related to the mechanics of contact. In particular, we consider the discretization of second- and fourth-order obstacle problems and a second-order domain decomposition problem. The main focus is on stabilized finite element methods and their reinterpretation as Nitsche-type methods. We study the stability of the proposed methods and prove optimal a priori and a posteriori error estimates. The performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated through numerical examples. For second-order obstacle problems, we study mixed and stabilized methods. The mixed method is shown to be stable if a bubble-enriched finite element space is used for the primal variable and the stabi...
