Abstract
In this paper we study, via fixed point and subdifferential arguments, the existence of solutions for a variational inequality which models the dynamics of a pile penetrating into the ground through the action of a pile hammer. This line of reasoning reduces the variational inequality we considered to a nonlinear evolution equation involving a monotone operator.
