Uniqueness and continuous dependence on the initial temperature are proved for a onedimensional, quasistatic and frictionless contact problem in linear thermoelasticity. First the problem is reformulated in such a way that it decouples. The resulting problem for the temperature is a nonlinear integro-differential equation. Once the temperature is known the displacement is recovered from an appropriate variational inequality. Uniqueness is proved by considering an integral transform of the temperature. The steady solution is obtained and the asymptotic stability is shown. It turns out that the asymptotic behaviour and the steady state are determined by a relation between the coupling constant a and the initial gap.

In the present paper we give conditions under which there exists a unique weak solution for a nonlocal equation driven by the integrodifferential operator of fractional Laplacian type. We argue for the optimality of some assumptions. Some Lyapunov-type inequalities are given. We also study the continuous dependence of the solution on parameters. In proofs we use monotonicity and variational methods.

In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for an initial value problem of a state-dependent neutral functional differential equation with two state-delay functions. The continuous dependence of the unique solution will be proved. Some especial cases and examples will be given.

Numerical integration has been widely used in commercial FEA software to solve transient problems. However, for the large-scale inhomogeneous thermoelastic contact problem (ITEC), this method is found to be extremely computation-intensive. This paper introduces a new approach to solve the ITEC transient problem with much lower computational complexity. The method is based on the transient modal analysis (TMA) method in conjunction with the fast speed expansion (FSE) method. The TMA method is used to obtain the inhomogeneous transient solution by expressing the solution in modal coordinates, corresponding to eigenfunctions of the homogeneous (unloaded) problem. If the sliding speed is constant, the eigenfunctions can be found by one run of the commercial software program ‘HotSpotter’. However, if the speed varies, the eigenfunctions change and numerous runs of HotSpotter are needed, making the method computationally inefficient. However, the FSE method employs an efficient algorithm to interpolate and expand the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues over a range of speeds. This reduces the number of eigenvalue solutions required and results in a significant reduction in computation time. The method is illustrated with application to an axisymmetric transmission clutch problem.
