Abstract

This paper presents a study of the dynamics of a pile driven into the ground under the action of a pile hammer. Due to the effects of friction one is led to a model consisting of a variational inequality. Results about existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions of an initial value problem for this variational inequality are obtained.
