Nonlinear Inclusions and Hemivariational Inequalities
Models and Analysis of Contact Problems
Article
We consider a class of history-dependent variational–hemivariational inequalities with constraints. Besides the unique solvability of the inequalities, we study the behavior of the solution with respect to the...
Article
We study a new class of elliptic variational-hemivariational inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces. An inequality in the class is governed by a nonlinear operator, a convex set of constraints and two nondiff...

Chapter
In this chapter we present preliminary material from functional analysis which will be used subsequently. The results are stated without proofs, since they are standard and can be found in many references. For...
Chapter
In this chapter we present basic material on the set-valued map**s, nonsmooth analysis, subdifferential calculus, and operators of monotone type. For set-valued map**s we concentrate on measurability and c...
Chapter
In this chapter we study evolutionary inclusions of second order. These are multivalued relations which involve the second-order time derivative of the unknown. We start with a basic existence result for such ...
Chapter
In this chapter we illustrate the use of the abstract results obtained in Chap. 4, in the study of three representative static frictional contact problems for deformable bodies. In the first two problems we mo...
Chapter
In this chapter we introduce function spaces that will be relevant to the subsequent developments in this monograph. The function spaces to be discussed include spaces of continuous and continuously differenti...
Chapter
In this chapter we study stationary operator inclusions, i.e., inclusions in which the derivatives of the unknown with respect to the time variable are not involved. We start with a basic existence result for ...
Chapter
In this chapter we deal with the mathematical modeling of the processes of contact between a deformable body and a foundation. We present the physical setting, the variables which determine the state of the sy...
Chapter
In this chapter we apply the abstract results of Chap. 5 in the study of three dynamic frictional contact problems. In the first two problems we model the material’s behavior with a nonlinear viscoelastic cons...
Chapter
We consider a mathematical model which describes the frictional contact between an electro-viscoelastic body and a conductive foundation. The process is dynamic and the contact is modelled with normal complian...
Book
Chapter
Considerable progress has been achieved recently in modeling and mathematical analysis of various processes involved in contact between deformable bodies. Indeed, a general Mathematical Theory of Contact Mecha...
Chapter
In the previous three chapters various constitutive laws for the behaviour of the material and different contact conditions were described in some detail. In this chapter we take the next step and assemble, in...
Chapter
The frictional contact problems which have been described up to now contained a constant friction coefficient, although, as was described in Sect. 2.7, in many applications it depends on the slip speed, on the...
Chapter
Existence results for the problem of quasistatic contact between an elastic material and a reactive foundation were first obtained in [18] and [19]. In both papers the normal compliance contact condition was e...
Chapter
We describe new results dealing with contact problems for materials that may undergo internal damage, resulting from strains and stresses which lead to the opening and growth of microscopic cracks. The damage ...
Chapter
This monograph shows clearly that the branch of the Mathematical Theory of Contact Mechanics which deals with quasistatic processes has made an impressive progress in the last decade. Indeed, from a handful of...
Chapter
In this chapter we present a short review of thermodynamic principles and potentials and describe their use in derivation of general thermomechanical conditions and equations, as applied to processes involved ...
