Existence and uniqueness of solutions for a dynamic thermoviscoelastic contact problem governed by an evolutionary variational hemivariational inequality with unilateral constraints
摘要
In the present paper, we consider a mathematical model describing the dynamic Coulomb’s frictional contact between a thermo-viscoelastic body and a thermally conductive rigid foundation. We employ the nonlinear constitutive viscoelastic law with long-term memory and thermal effects. We describe some contact and thermal conditions with the Clarke subdifferential boundary conditions. We derive the weak formulation of the problem as a system coupling two variational-hemivariational inequalities. We provide results on the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the model by using recent results from the theory of variational-hemivariational inequalities. Finally, the continuous dependence of the solution on the data is studied.
