A viscoelastic contact problem with normal damped response and friction

B. Awbi, El H. Essoufi, M. Sofonea (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study an evolution problem which describes the quasistatic contact of a viscoelastic body with a foundation. We model the contact with normal damped response and a local friction law. We derive a variational formulation of the model and we establish the existence of a unique weak solution to the problem. The proof is based on monotone operators and fixed point arguments. We also establish the continuous dependence of the solution on the contact boundary conditions.

Analysis and numerical approximation of an elastic frictional contact problem with normal compliance

Weimin Han, Mircea Sofonea (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the problem of frictional contact between an elastic body and an obstacle. The elastic constitutive law is assumed to be nonlinear. The contact is modeled with normal compliance and the associated version of Coulomb's law of dry friction. We present two alternative yet equivalent weak formulations of the problem, and establish existence and uniqueness results for both formulations using arguments of elliptic variational inequalities and fixed point theory. Moreover, we show...

Note on a mixed variational principle in finite elasticity

Gérard A. Maugin, Carmine Trimarco (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

In the present context the variation is performed keeping the deformed configuration fixed while a suitable material stress tensor S and the material coordinates are required to vary independently. The variational principle turns out to be equivalent to an equilibrium problem of placements and tractions prescribed at the boundary of a body of finite extent.

A General Linear Theory of Elastic Plates and its Variational Validation

Danilo Percivale, Paolo Podio-Guidugli (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We provide a variational justification for shearable-plate models that generalize the classic Reissner-Mindlin model. Firstly, we give an argument leading to choose a fairly general linearly elastic monoclinic material response. Secondly, we prove that, for materials in such constitutive class, the variational limit of certain suitably scaled 3D energies is a functional whose minimum over a maximal subspace of admissible functions coincides with the minimum of the generalized Reissner-Mindlin...

Quasistatic frictional problems for elastic and viscoelastic materials

Oanh Chau, Dumitru Motreanu, Mircea Sofonea (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider two quasistatic problems which describe the frictional contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. In the first problem the body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior, while in the other it is assumed to be elastic. The frictional contact is modeled by a general velocity dependent dissipation functional. We derive weak formulations for the models and prove existence and uniqueness results. The proofs are based on the theory of evolution...

A study of a unilateral and adhesive contact problem with normal compliance

Arezki Touzaline (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to study a quasistatic unilateral contact problem between an elastic body and a foundation. The constitutive law is nonlinear and the contact is modelled with a normal compliance condition associated to a unilateral constraint and 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...
