AbstractWe consider a model of a dynamic frictional contact between the body and the foundation. In this model the contact is bilateral. The behaviour of the material is described by the elastic-viscoplastic constitutive law with thermal effect. The variational formulation of this model leads to a system of two evolution hemivariational inequalities. The aim of this paper is to prove that this system of inequalities has a unique solution. The proof is based on the Banach fixed point theorem and some results for hemivariational inequalities.
