## Abstract The initialβboundary value problem associated with a linear viscoelastic bar which moves along its axis and against a stationary obstacle perpendicular to the axis is discussed. The existence of a solution is established by the penalty method and a multiplier technique. The uniqueness o

Abstract
The paper is devoted to study of acoustic wave propagation in a partially consolidated composite material containing loose particles. Friction of particles against the consolidated part of the material causes mechanical energy dissipation. This situation is modelled by assuming that the medium has a periodic microstructure changing rapidly on the small scale Ξ΅. Each of the periodic microscopic cells is composed of a viscoelastic matrix containing a rigid particle in frictional contact with the matrix. We use the methods of twoβscale convergence to obtain effective acoustic equations for the homogenized material. The effective equations are historyβdependent and contain the body force term, reminiscent of the wellβknown Stokes drag force. Copyright Β© 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A contact enforcement algorithm has been developed for matrix-free quasistatic finite element techniques. Matrix-free (iterative) solution algorithms such as non-linear conjugate gradients (CG) and dynamic relaxation (DR) are desirable for large solid mechanics applications where direct linear equat
