Analysis of a Signorini Problem with Nonlocal Friction in Thermo-piezoelectricity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a mathematical model which describes the frictional unilateral contact between a thermo-piezoelectric body and a rigid electrically conductive foundation. The thermo-piezoelectric constitutive law is assumed to be nonlinear and the contact is modeled with the Signorini condition, the nonlocal Coulomb friction law with slip dependent friction coefficient and the regularized electrical and thermal conductivity conditions. The variational form of this problem is a coupled system which consists of a nonlinear variational inequality for the displacement field and two nonlinear variational equations for the electric potential and the temperature. The existence of a unique weak solution to the problem is proved by using abstract results for elliptic variational inequalities and fixed point arguments.

The 2D-Signorini contact problem with Tresca and Coulomb friction is discussed in infinitedimensional Hilbert spaces. First, the problem with given friction (Tresca friction) is considered. It leads to a constraint non-differentiable minimization problem. By means of the Fenchel duality theorem this problem can be transformed into a constrained minimization involving a smooth functional. A regu...
