Abstract

We show with a simple example that cases of incompatibility (first displayed by Signorini) between the nonlinear and the linearized version of the same problem occur also in contact problems.

Sommario

Si mostra con un esempio elementare che casi di incompatibilità alla Signorini tra i risultati dello studio non-lineare e di quello linearizzato di uno stesso problema si presentano anche in problemi di contatto.
