Description
Summary:We consider an evolutionary inclusion associated with a time-dependent convex in an abstract Hilbert space. We recall a unique solvability result obtained based on arguments of nonlinear equations with maximal monotone operators combined with a penalty method. Then, we state and prove two well-posedness results. Next, we provide three examples of such inclusions that arise in mechanics. The first one concerns an elastic–perfectly plastic constitutive law, while the last two examples are mathematical models that describe the equilibrium of an elastic body and an elastic–perfectly plastic body, respectively, in frictional contact with an obstacle. The contact is bilateral and the friction is modeled with the Tresca friction law. We use our abstract results in the study of these examples to provide the convergence of the solution with respect to the data.
