Abstract The aim of this paper is to study a quasistatic contact problem between an electro-elastic viscoplastic body with damage and an electrically conductive foundation. The contact is modelled with an electrical condition, normal compliance and the associated version of Coulomb’s law of dry friction in which slip dependent friction is included. We derive a variational formulation for the model and, under a smallness assumption, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution.

In this paper the traction contact problems for Stokes equation are discussed and the Stokes equation is considered in a mixed formulation. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution for a mixed formulation of Stokes equation with traction contact. The traction contact is described by subdifferential boundary conditions. For this problem we present a variational formulation in a form of a hemivariational inequality for the velocity field.

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of a solution to the quasistatic unilateral contact problem with a modified version of Coulomb's law of dry friction for nonlinear elastic materials. We derive a variational incremental problem which admits a solution if the friction coefficient is sufficiently small and then by passing to the limit with respect to time we obtain the existence of a solution.

We consider a mathematical model which describes the static frictional contact between a piezoelectric body and an obstacle. The constitutive relation of the material is assumed to be electroelastic and involves a nonlinear elasticity operator. The contact is modelled with a version of Coulomb's law of dry friction in which the coefficient of friction depends on the slip. We derive a variational formulation for the model which is in form of a coupled system involving as unknowns the displacement field and the electric potential. Then we provide the existence of a weak solution to the model and, under a smallness assumption, we provide its uniqueness. The proof is based on a result obtained in [14] in the study of elliptic quasi‐variational inequalities.

Galileo was the first to analyze the motion of spheres rolling down an inclined surface. Since then, Coulomb’s law of dry friction has covered the case of sliding particles. However, a particle that is not round can still roll, although in a way that is essentially different from the motion studied by Galileo. Instead of keeping contact with the surface, such particles will start bouncing after reaching a certain angular velocity. This motion is a combination of flying and colliding. It is shown that the acceleration of a bouncing particle is always bounded by the accelerations for perfect rolling and sliding. In order to describe the motion of a not perfectly round particle, the polygon is used as a model. The aim of the model is to predict the trajectories of particles that cannot be covered by the models for perfect rolling and sliding.

We study a quasistatic problem describing the contact with friction and wear between a piezoelectric body and a moving foundation. The material is modeled by an electro-viscoelastic constitutive law with long memory and damage. The wear of the contact surface due to friction is taken into account and is described by the differential Archard condition. The contact is modeled with the normal compliance condition and the associated law of dry friction. We present a variational formulation of the problem and establish, under a smallness assumption on the data, the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution. The proof is based on arguments of parabolic evolutionary inequations, elliptic variational inequalities and Banach fixed point.

In this paper, we consider a mathematical model of a contact problem in thermo-electro-viscoelasticity with the normal compliance conditions and Tresca’s friction law. We present a variational formulation of the problem, and we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution. We also study the numerical approach using spatially semidiscrete and fully discrete finite element schemes with Euler’s backward scheme. Finally, we derive error estimates on the approximate solutions.

We consider a mathematical model which describes the dynamic pro- cess of contact between a piezoelectric body and an electrically conductive foun- dation. We model the material's behavior with a nonlinear electro-viscoelastic constitutive law with thermal e ects. Contact is described with the Signorini condition, a version of Coulomb's law of dry friction. A variational formulation of the model is derived, and the existence of a unique weak solution is proved. The proofs are based on the classical result of nonlinear rst order evolution inequali- ties, the equations with monotone operators, and the xed point arguments.

We consider a mathematical model that describes the equilibrium of an elastic body in frictional contact with a moving foundation. The contact is modeled with a multivalued normal compliance condition with unilateral constraint, associated with a sliding version of Coulomb’s law of dry friction. We present a description of the model, list the assumptions on the data and derive its primal variational formulation, in terms of displacement. Then we prove an existence and uniqueness result, Theorem 3.1. We proceed with a penalization method in the study of the contact problem for which we present a convergence result, Theorem 4.1. Finally, under additional hypotheses, we consider a variational formulation of the problem in terms of the stress, the so-called dual variational formulation, and prove an equivalence result, Theorem 5.3. The proofs of the theorems are based on arguments of monotonicity, compactness, convexity and lower semicontinuity.
