Review text

The authors derive the strong form of dynamic equations of motion for an elastic body being in frictional contact with a rigid support. Discretizing the time interval, they obtain formally a static contact problem for each incremental displacement field whose weak form is given by means of a variational inequality. Next, the penalty technique and a smoothing procedure are used to approximate the Signorini conditions and the (nondifferentiable) friction functional, respectively. The resulting variational equations are then transformed into a set of boundary integral equations whose (Galerkin-) discretized form is the basis for numerical evaluations. At last, the authors report results concerning the existence and regularity of solutions and the convergence of the proposed approximation. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0866.00056].
