This article is concerned with the development, implementation and application of variational inequalities to treat the general elastodynamic contact problem. The solution strategy is based upon the iterative use of two subproblems. Quadratic programming and Lagrange multipliers are used to solve th

Abstract
This paper deals with the mathematical and numerical analysis of a class of abstract implicit evolution variational inequalities. The results obtained here can be applied to a large variety of quasistatic contact problems in linear elasticity, including unilateral contact or normal compliance conditions with friction. In particular, a quasistatic unilateral contact problem with nonlocal friction is considered. An algorithm is derived and some numerical examples are presented.

## Abstract Some dynamic contact problems with friction can be formulated as an implicit variational inequality. A time discretization of such an inequality is given here, thus giving rise to a soβcalled incremental solution. The convergence of the incremental solution is established, and then the
A new variational inequality-based formulation is presented for the large deformation analysis of frictional contact in elastic shell structures. The formulations are based on a seven-parameter continuum shell model, which account for the normal stress and strain through the shell thickness and acco
## Abstract We investigate unilateral contact problems for micropolar hemitropic elastic solids. Our study includes Tresca friction (given friction model) along some parts of the boundary of the body. We equivalently reduce these problems to boundary variational inequalities with the help of the St
