Hemivariational inequality approach to the dynamic viscoelastic sliding contact problem with wear (Q2499616)

The author studies the dynamic frictional contact between a deformable body with a linear elasticity operator and a nonlinear viscoelasticity operator, and a foundation. The mathematical model is based on a hemivariational inequality which involves Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz functional. The aim is to prove existence and uniqueness results for weak solutions to the hyperbolic hemivariational inequality with nonmonotone multidimensional and multivalued boundary conditions.
