In this paper, we are interested in the study of the asymptotic analysis of a dynamical problem in elasticity with nonlinear friction of Tresca type. The Lamé coefficients of a thin layer are assumed to vary with respect to the thin layer parameter ε and to depend on the temperature. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution for the limit problem. The proof is carried out by the use of the asymptotic behavior when the dimension of the domain tends to zero.

The aim of this paper is to study the process of contact with adhesion between a piezoelectric body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. The material's behavior is assumed to be electro-viscoelastic; the process is quasistatic, the contact is modeled by the Signorini condition. The adhesion process is modeled by a bonding field on the contact surface. We derive a variational formulation for the problem and then we prove the existence of a unique weak solution to the model. The proof is based on a general result on evolution equations with maximal monotone operators and fixed-point arguments.
