Keywords:
unilateral contact; Coulomb friction; finite elements; existence proofs
Summary:
A unilateral contact problem with a variable coefficient of friction is solved by a simplest variant of the finite element technique. The coefficient of friction may depend on the magnitude of the tangential displacement. The existence of an approximate solution and some a priori estimates are proved.
