A NONLINEAR EVOLUTION INCLUSION IN PERFECT PLASTICITY WITH FRICTION
A. Amassad, M. Shillor and M. Sofonea
Abstract. 
We consider a nonlinear evolution inclusion associated with a time
dependent convex set in a Hilbert space. We prove an existence and
uniqueness result for the problem using classical results from the
theory of evolution equations involving maximal monotone
operators, a fixed point argument and a regularization method. We
apply this result to a model for the quasistatic evolution process
of a perfectly plastic body which is in frictional contact with a
rigid foundation and obtain the existence of the unique stress
field.
