Abstract

In this paper, we study a mathematical model that describes the dynamic frictional contact between the thermoviscoelastic body and the foundation. The contact condition is modeled by the so-called nonsmooth interface law involving unilateral constraints and subdifferential inclusions. The weak formulation of our mathematical model is a coupled system containing both parabolic and hyperbolic variational-hemivariational inequalities. As a result, we deliver its unique solvability by employing a surjectivity theorem for pseudomonotone operators, a fixed point argument for history-dependent operators and a mixed equilibrium formulation with suitably selected functions.
