On a boundary variational inequality of the second kind modelling a friction problem

From MaRDI portal





The author considers a model of two-dimensional unilateral contact problem with friction governed by static Coulomb law. This problem is formulated as the following variational inequality: \[ \begin{cases} \text{Find }{\mathbf u}\in H^1(\Omega), \text{ such that }\\ a({\mathbf u},{\mathbf v}-{\mathbf u})+j(v)-j(u)\geq L(v-u), {\mathbf v}\in H^1(\Omega),\end{cases} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) with sufficiently smooth boundary \(\Gamma\), \(a\) is the bilinear form: \[ a({\mathbf u},{\mathbf v})=\int_\Omega \nabla{\mathbf u}\nabla {\mathbf v}dx+ \int_\Omega{\mathbf u}{\mathbf v} dx, \] \(L\) is the linear operator: \(L(v)=\int_\Gamma fvdx\), \(j\) is the functional: \(j(v)=\int_\Gamma g|v|ds\), \(v\) and \(u\) stand for the trace of \({\mathbf v}\) and \({\mathbf u}\) on \(\Gamma\). The aim of the paper is to overcome the difficulty caused by the non-differentiable friction functional and appearing when solving the discrete problem directly. The author proposes the following methods. First an iterative regularization procedure is considered. Next the author states the mixed variational formulation and proves the convergence of Uzawa's algorithm. Finally the discretization by the boundary element Galerkin method is presented.
