The paper is concerned with the numerical solution of non-linear conservation laws, and the contribution biomechanical models of spine and of loaded wrist are formulated and analysed. The models are based on a contact problem in non-linear elastic rheology. The stress-strain relation is derived from a positive definite strain energy density function. For a weak solution of the problem, a variational inequality approach is used. Then the secant modules method and the FE method are applied.
