The paper deals with a static case of discretized contact problems for bodies made of materials obeying Hencky's law of perfect plasticity. The main interest is focused on the analysis of the formulation in terms of displacements. This covers the study of: i) a structure of the solution set in the case when the problem has more than one solution ii) the dependence of the solution set on the loading parameter ζ. The latter is used to give a rigorous justification of the limit load approach based on work of external forces as a function of ζ. A model example illustrates the efficiency of the method.

“…We formulate (2.21a)-(2.21d) as a variational inequality of the second kind (cf., e.g., GLOWINSKI et al [1981]). To this end, we denote byũ ∈ W 1,2 (Ω) d ∩ H(div 0 ; Ω) the function with traceũ| ΓD = u D .…”

“…, the fluid flow is described by the nonlinear variational inequality of the second kind (2.63). Hence, appropriate numerical methods for such variational inequalities have to be provided (cf., e.g., GLOWINSKI et al [1981]). We present here an augmented Lagrangian approach relying on a mixed formulation of the problem that has been used in ENGELMANN et al [2000] for the computation of electrorheological fluid flows obeying the constitutive law (2.13).…”
“…The above initial-boundary value problem was investigated for the first time in [4]. The numerical approximation of this problem has been the subject of numerous works : [1], [6], [9], [10] and [11]. However, the numerical study has been restricted to the case of either two dimensional domain or laminar flow in a cylindrical pipe.…”
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.
