Variational and numerical analysis of the Signorini′s contact problem in viscoplasticity with damage

We consider the quasistatic Signorini′s contact problem with damage for elastic-viscoplastic bodies. The mechanical damage of the material, caused by excessive stress or strain, is described by a damage function whose evolution is modeled by an inclusion of parabolic type. We provide a variational f...
