Abstract
In this paper, we consider two quasistatic contact problems. The material’s behavior is modelled with an elastic constitutive law for the first problem and a viscoplastic constitutive law for the second problem. The novelty arises in the fact that the contact is frictionless and is modelled with a condition which involves normal compliance and memory term. Moreover, for the second problem we consider a condition with unilateral constraint. For each problem we derive a variational formulation of the model and prove its unique solvability. Also, we analyze the dependence of the solution with respect to the data.
