Abstract

We present some formulations of the static and dynamic contact problem with friction by means of boundary integral equations, which include domain integrals. After stating the equations of motion and the boundary conditions to the dynamic contact problem, we use a time stepping algorithm to transform this problem into a sequence of static problems, each of them formulated as a variational inequality. The penalty method and a smoothing procedure for the friction functional yield an approximation by a nonlinear variational equation. Recent results concerning the existence of solutions to the stated problems are given. Transforming the bilinear form of elastic energy into a boundary integral by means of the Steklov-Poincaré operator, one obtains a boundary integral equation, which is discretized with the Galerkin-method. At the end, a fully dynamic formulation using a Faedo-Galerkin scheme is proposed, which combines a boundary integral equation with a domain integral equation.
