A frictionless contact problem for viscoelastic materials
We consider a mathematical model which describes the contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so‐called foundation. The body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior that we model with the Kelvin‐Voigt constitutive law. The contact is frictionless and is modeled with the well‐known Signorini condition in a form with a zero gap function.

Optimal velocity control of a convective Cahn-Hilliard system with double obstacles and dynamic boundary conditions: a `deep quench' approach [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate a distributed optimal control problem for a convective viscous Cahn-Hilliard system with dynamic boundary conditions. Such systems govern phase separation processes between two phases taking place in an incompressible fluid ...

Analysis of the modified mass method for the dynamic Signorini problem with Coulomb friction [PDF]
International audienceThe aim of the present work is to analyze the modified mass method for the dynamic Signorini problem with Coulomb friction. We prove that the space semi-discrete problem is equivalent to an upper semi-continuous one-sided Lipschitz ...
