Dynamic interaction between two bodies, where one is significantly more flexible than the other, is common (e.g. rotor-casing contact). This paper presents a linear model for simulating contact between rigid and flexible bodies. The motion between contacts is predicted by modal superposition, using separate models for the two components. During contact, the models are coupled via a linear conta...

We consider a differential quasivariational inequality for which we state and prove the continuous dependence of solution with respect to data. This convergence result allows us existence at least one optimal pair an associated control problem. Finally, illustrate our abstract results in study free boundary problem describes equilibrium viscoelastic body frictionless contact foundation made rig...
