摘要

In our study, we examine a mathematical model that characterizes the dynamic Coulomb’s frictional contact between a thermo-viscoelastic body and a thermally conductive rigid foundation. This model incorporates a nonlinear constitutive viscoelastic law with long-term memory and thermal effects. The contact condition on the contact surface is modeled using Signorini’s boundary condition, expressed through Clarke subdifferential. By formulating the problem’s weak form as a system combining variational–hemivariational inequalities, we establish the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the model, leveraging recent advances in the theory of variational–hemivariational inequalities.
