Dynamic frictional contact for elastic viscoplastic material

Kenneth L. Kuttler

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.
