In this paper, we deal with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the plate contact problem with the frictional boundary conditions. The weak formulation is the variational inequality problem of the second kind. In virtue of the special discrete variational formulation, the error estimate in the broken H 2 norm is derived between the discontinuous approximation solution and the exact solution.
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.
