Dynamic thermoviscoelastic problem with friction and damage

In this paper we present a model of dynamic frictional contact between a thermoviscoelastic body and a foundation. The thermoviscoelastic constitutive law includes a temperature effect described by the parabolic equation with the subdifferential boundary condition and a damage effect described by the parabolic inclusion with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. Contact is modeled with bilateral condition and is associated to a subdifferential frictional law. The variational formulation of the problem leads to a system of hyperbolic hemivariational inequality for the displacement, parabolic hemivariational inequality for the temperature and parabolic variational inequality for the damage. The existence of a unique weak solution is proved by using recent results from the theory of hemivariational inequalities, variational inequalities, and a fixed point argument.     

A class of quasilinear elliptic hemivariational inequalities

1. IntroductionIn this paper we shall deal with the quasilinear elliptic hemivaxiational inequalitieswhere the symbol OJ designates Clarke's generalized gradiellt of a locally Lipschitz functionalJ (see [1, 2]). The discontinuity is assumed to be in the lower order term OJ(u(x)). If Ais a linear operator and the disconiinuity is monotone, the problems have been studied,for example, in [3-6]. If A is a linear opertor and the discolltinuity is nonmonotone, thiskind of problems have been inve…     

Existence results for evolutionary inclusions and variational–hemivariational inequalities

We consider an abstract first-order evolutionary inclusion in a reflexive Banach space. The inclusion contains the sum of L-pseudomonotone operator and a maximal monotone operator. We provide an existence theorem which is a generalization of former results known in the literature. Next, we apply our result to the case of nonlinear variational–hemivariational inequalities considered in the setting of an evolution triple of spaces. We specify the multivalued operators in the problem and obtain existence results for several classes of variational–hemivariational inequality problems. Finally, we illustrate our existence result and treat a class of quasilinear parabolic problems under nonmonotone and multivalued flux boundary conditions.

Vector Quasi-Hemivariational Inequalities and Discontinuous Elliptic Systems

We develop an existence theory for hemivariational inequalities in vector-valued function spaces which involve pseudomonotone operators. The obtained abstract result is used to study quasilinear elliptic systems whose lower order coupling vector field depends discontinuously upon the solution vector. We provide conditions that allow the identification of regions of existence of solutions for such systems, so called trapping regions.     

Confluent and Open Retractible Continua

In this paper we deal with quasilinear elliptic hemivariational inequalities of higher order as generalizations of elliptic variational inequalities of higher order to nonconvex functionals. This extension is strongly motivated by various problems in mechanics. Using the notion of the generalized gradient of Clarke, existence results of solutions have been obtained.     

Existence of solutions for elliptic hemivariational inequalities

This paper is devoted to the existence of solutions concerning the Dirichlet problem for quasilinear elliptic hemivariational inequalities at the first eigenvalue. Using the notion of the generalized gradient of Clarke and the property of the first eigenfunction, some existence results of solutions have been proved.     

A class of dynamic frictional contact problems governed by a system of hemivariational inequalities in thermoviscoelasticity

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution for a dynamic thermoviscoelastic problem which describes frictional contact between a body and a foundation. We employ the nonlinear constitutive viscoelastic law with a long-term memory, which includes the thermal effects and considers the general nonmonotone and multivalued subdifferential boundary conditions for the contact, friction and heat flux. The model consists of the system of the hemivariational inequality of hyperbolic type for the displacement and the parabolic hemivariational inequality for the temperature. The existence of solutions is proved by using recent results from the theory of hemivariational inequalities and a fixed point argument.     

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for semilinear hemivariational inequalities at resonance

In this paper we study semilinear hemivariational inequalities at resonance. Assuming a partially anticoercive nonsmooth potential we prove an existence and a multiplicity theorem. The method of the proof is variational and in the multiplicity result, we employ the nonsmooth local linking theorem.     

Anti-periodic solutions for differential inclusions in Banach spaces and their applications

We deal with anti-periodic problems for differential inclusions with nonmonotone perturbations. The main tools in our study are the maximal monotone property of the derivative operator with anti-periodic conditions and the theory of pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone mappings. We then apply our results to evolution hemivariational inequalities and parabolic equations with nonmonotone discontinuities, which generalize and extend previously known theorems.

Optimal Control of Parabolic Hemivariational Inequalities

In this paper we study the optimal control of systems driven by parabolic hemivariational inequalities. First, we establish the existence of solutions to a parabolic hemivariational inequality which contains nonlinear evolution operator. Introducing a control variable in the second member and in the multivalued term, we prove the upper semicontinuity property of the solution set of the inequality. Then we use this result and the direct method of the calculus of variations to show the existence of optimal admissible state–control pairs.     

Eigenvalue problems for nonlinear elliptic equations with unilateral constraints

In this paper we study eigenvalue problems for hemivariational and variational inequalities driven by the p$p$-Laplacian differential operator. Using topological methods (based on multivalued versions of the Leray–Schauder alternative principle) and variational methods (based on the nonsmooth critical point theory), we prove existence and multiplicity results for the eigenvalue problems that we examine.     

Existence and multiplicity results for quasilinear hemivariational inequalities at resonance

In this paper we consider quasilinear hemivariational inequality at resonance. We prove existence results for strongly resonant quasilinear problem, resonant problem under a Tang‐type condition as well as two multiplicity results. The method of the proofs is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Finite Element Approximation of Hemivariational Inequalities

The paper deals with a finite element approximation of elliptic and parabolic variational inequalities. Elliptic hemivariational inequalities are equivalently expressed as a system consisting of one equation and one inclusion for a couple of unknowns, namely a primal variable u and an element belonging to a multivalued mapping at u. Both components of the solution are approximated independently each other by a finite element method. Parabolic inequalities are transformed into a system of elliptic ones by using an appropriate time discretization. A numerical experiment is realized by using non-smooth optimization methods.
