Abstract: 
 This paper shows the existence of a solution of the
 quasi-static unilateral contact problem with nonlocal friction
 law for nonlinear elastic materials. We set up a variational
 incremental problem which admits a solution, when the friction
 coefficient is small enough, and then by passing to the limit
 with respect to time we obtain a solution.
