Quasistatic contact problem with unilateral constraint for elastic-viscoplastic materials
Published 2016-08-16Version 1
This paper consists of two parts. In the first part we prove the unique solvability for the abstract variational-hemivariational inequality with history-dependent operator. The proof is based on the existing result for the static variational-hemivariational inequality and a fixed point argument. In the second part, we consider a mathematical model which describes quasistatic frictional contact between a deformable body and a rigid foundation. In the model the material behaviour is modelled by an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive law. The contact is described with a normal damped response, unilateral constraint and memory term. In the analysis of this model we use the abstract result from the first part of the paper.
