Quasistatic Contact Problems in Viscoelasticity and Viscoplasticity

From Book News, Inc.
Presenting arguments and results in modeling, analysis, and numerical simulations, this book introduces a mathematical theory of contact problems involving deformable bodies (such as the contact between brake pads with wheels or tires with roads). The authors treat quasistatic (i.e. somewhat time-dependent) contact processes in the infinitesimal strain theory. Material processes are modeled with elastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic constitutive laws under various conditions, including Signorini nonpenetration condition, normal compliance, and normal damped resistance conditions. Also considered are problems with friction, wear, and the evolution of wear.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
