Abstract

We consider two initial boundary value problems which describe the evolution of a viscoelastic and viscoplastic body, respectively, in contact with a piston or a device. In both problems the contact process is assumed to be dynamic and the friction is described with a subdifferential boundary condition. Both the constitutive laws and the contact conditions we use involve memory terms. For each problem we derive a variational formulation which is in the form of a system coupling a nonlinear integral equation with a history-dependent hemivariational inequality. Then, we prove the existence of a weak solution and, under additional assumptions, its uniqueness. The proofs are based on results for history-dependent hemivariational inequalities presented in Chap. 2
