In his extensive career, Joost Kalker worked on many contact phenomena. For this, he developed various theories, which were accompanied by algorithms and computer programs. Most notably, these are the FASTSIM algorithm for quickly evaluating the nonlinear creep-force law in vehicle dynamic simulations, the CONTACT program for the exact theory of rolling contact in 3D elastic halfspaces, and the USETAB program that uses a large table calculated with CONTACT, in order to improve over the FASTSIM algorithm in speed, accuracy and versatility as well.
