The mathematical theory of contact mechanics is a growing field in engineering and
scientific computing. This book is intended as a unified and readily accessible source for …

Research into contact problems continues to produce a rapidly growing body of knowledge.
Recognizing the need for a single, concise source of information on models and analysis of …

Abstract top The paper deals with the problem of quasistatic frictionless contact between an
elastic body and a foundation. The elasticity operator is assumed to vanish for zero strain, to …

In this work, we consider dynamic frictionless contact with adhesion between a viscoelastic
body of the Kelvin-Voigt type and a stationary rigid obstacle, based on the Signorini's contact …

Abstract Cylinder Head Gasketed joint is one of the important joint for internal combustion
engines. The main function of cylinder Head Gasketed joint is to seal combustion gases, oil …

This work models, analyses and simulates a one-dimensional process of debonding of a
structure made of two viscoelastic bonded slabs that is described by a rod-beam system. It is …

The existence and uniqueness of the weak solution to the model for the dynamics of a
viscoelastic rod which is in adhesive contact with an obstacle is established. The model …

A mathematical model is established to describe a contact problem between a deformable
body and a foundation. The contact is bilateral and modelled with a nonlocal friction law, in …

We consider a quasistatic frictional contact problem between a viscoelastic body with long
memory and a deformable foundation. The contact is modelled with normal compliance in …

The aim of this paper is to study a quasistatic contact problem between a nonlinear elastic
body and a foundation. The contact is adhesive and frictional and is modelled with a version …
