Variational Inequalities with Applications: A Study of Antiplane Frictional Contact Problems

By Andaluzia Matei and Mircea Sofonea

Book Overview

This book is motivated by stimulating problems in contact mechanics, emphasizing antiplane frictional contact with linearly elastic and viscoelastic materials. It focuses on the essentials with respect to the qualitative aspects of several classes of variational inequalities (VIs). Clearly presented, easy to follow, and well-referenced, this work treats almost entirely VIs of the second kind, with much of the material being state-of-the-art.
