The purpose of the paper is to apply monotone multigrid methods
to static and dynamic biomechanical contact problems.
In space, a finite element method involving a mortar
discretization of the contact conditions is used.
In time, a new contact--stabilized Newmark scheme is presented.
Numerical experiments for a two body Hertzian contact problem
and a biomechanical knee problem are reported.
