Summary

We study a quasistatic frictionless viscoplastic contact problem with normal compliance and damage for elastic-visco-plastic bodies. The mechanical damage of the material, caused by excessive stress or strain, is described by a damage function whose evolution is modelled by a parabolic inclusion. We provide a variational formulation for the mechanical problem that has a unique solution. We then study a fully discrete scheme for the numerical solution of the problem and derive error estimates for the approximate solutions. Finally, we present some numerical results.
