Abstract

In this chapter, we first study B.V.P.s arising in the framework of the geometrically linear theory of elastic viscoplastic and elastic perfectly plastic solids, and second B.V.P.s concerning rigid viscoplastic flows. We formulate the problems in terms of variational inequalities, and then discuss the existence and uniqueness of their solutions.
