Title: Dynamic frictional contact for elastic viscoplastic material

Author: Kenneth L. Kuttler (Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT, USA)

Abstract:
 Using a general theory for evolution inclusions, existence and
 uniqueness theorems are obtained for weak solutions to a frictional
 dynamic contact problem for elastic visco-plastic material. An
 existence theorem in the case where the friction coefficient is
 discontinuous is also presented.
