Existence of A Solution to The N Dimensional Problem of Thermoelastic Contact

From MaRDI portal





We consider the quasistatic problem of frictionless contact of a thermoelastic body with a rigid foundation. It models the evolution of temperature and displacement in an elastic body that is subject to external forces and heat sources and that may come in contact with a rigid foundation. It is modeled as a variational inequality in which the operator is neither monotone nor coercive. We prove the existence of a ``strong-weak solution to the problem, provided that the coefficient of thermal expansion is sufficiently small. Our method is based on a technical use of truncation and on compactness arguments.
