Slip-dependent friction in dynamic elasticity Original Research Article

The dynamic evolution with frictional contact of an elastic body is considered. In modeling the contact the Tresca model and a slip-dependent friction law are used. The existence of a solution is proved in the two-dimensional case. The uniqueness is proved for the one-dimensional shearing problem. The convergence, for a vanishing viscosity, of the unique solution of the viscoelastic problem to a solution of the elastic problem is obtained.
