AbstractThe paper deals with the study of a quasistatic unilateral contact problem between a nonlinear elastic body and a foundation. The contact is modelled with a normal compliance condition associated to unilateral constraint and the Coulomb's friction law. The adhesion between contact surfaces is taken into account and is modelled with a surface variable, the bonding field, whose evolution is described by a first-order differential equation. We establish a variational formulation of the mechanical problem and prove an existence and uniqueness result in the case where the coefficient of friction is bounded by a certain constant. The technique of the proof is based on arguments of time-dependent variational inequalities, differential equations and fixed-point theorem.

We consider a dynamic frictionless contact problem for elastic-viscoplastic materials with damage. The contact is modelled with normal compliance condition. The adhesion of the contact surfaces is considered and is modelled with a surface variable, the bonding field whose evolution is described by a first order differential equation. We derive variational formulation for the model and prove an existence and uniqueness result of the weak solution. The proof is based on arguments of nonlinear evolution equations with monotone operators, a classical existence and uniqueness result on parabolic inequalities, differential equations and fixed-point arguments.

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.

The contact problem of an inflated spherical nonlinear elastic membrane between two large rigid plates is formulated in terms of three first-order ordinary differential equations for the region where the spherical membrane is not in contact with the rigid plates. The constraint condition introduced by the rigid plate on part of the spherical membrane reduces the number of governing equations to two for the contact region. A general stress-strain relation for the spherical membrane is used in the formulation. The results presented in this paper assume that the material behavior of the spherical membrane is that described by the Mooney model. Nonlinear spring characteristics and the instability phenomena of the inflated membrane are discussed.

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to obtain an exact expression of the positive periodic solution for a first-order differential equation with attractive and repulsive singularities. Moreover, we prove the existence of at least one positive periodic solution for this equation with an indefinite singularity by applications of topological degree theorem, and give the upper and lower bounds of the positive periodic solution.

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.

We discuss a third-order differential equation, involving a general form of nonlinearity. We obtain results describing how suitable coefficient functions determine the asymptotic and (non-)oscillatory behavior of solutions. We use comparison technique with first-order differential equations together with the Kusano–Naito’s and Philos’ approaches.
