We study the antiplane frictional contact models for electroelastic materials, both in quasistatic case. The material is assumed to be electro-elastic and the friction is modeled with Tresca's law and the foundation is assumed to be electrically conductive. First, we derive the classical variational formulation of the model which is given by a system coupling an evolutionary variational equality for the displacement field and a time-dependent variational equation for the potential field. Then we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solution to the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
