Background on Functional Analysis -- Preliminaries -- Function Spaces -- Variational Inequalities -- Elliptic Variational Inequalities -- Evolutionary Variational Inequalities with Viscosity -- Evolutionary Variational Inequalities -- Volterra-type Variational Inequalities -- Background on Contact Mechanics -- Modeling of Contact Processes -- Antiplane Shear -- Antiplane Frictional Contact Problems -- Elastic Problems -- Viscoelastic Problems with Short Memory -- Viscoelastic Problems with Long Memory
Summary
This book is motivated by stimulating problems in contact mechanics, emphasizing antiplane frictional contact with linearly elastic and viscoelastic materials. The book treats almost entirely VIs of the second kind. Much of the material is state-of-the-art
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-226) and index
