Finite Element Method for Hemivariational Inequalities: Theory, Methods and Applications

by Markku Miettinen, Panagiotis D. Panagiotopoulos, Jaroslav Haslinger

Hemivariational inequalities represent an important class of problems in nonsmooth and nonconvex mechanics. By means of them, problems with nonmonotone, possibly multivalued, constitutive laws can be formulated, mathematically analyzed and finally numerically solved. The present book gives a rigorous analysis of finite element approximation for a class of hemivariational inequalities of elliptic and parabolic type. Finite element models are described...
