Abstract

This paper is devoted to a study of time-dependent hemivariational inequality. We prove existence and uniqueness of its solution, provide fully discrete scheme and reformulate this scheme as a series of nonsmooth optimization problems. This theory is later applied to a sample quasistatic contact problem describing a viscoelastic body in frictional contact with a foundation. This contact is governed by a nonmonotone friction law with dependence on normal component of displacement and tangential component of velocity. Finally, computational simulations are performed to illustrate obtained results.
