Dynamic History-Dependent Hemivariational Inequalities Controlled by Evolution Equations with Application to Contact Mechanics

This paper is devoted the study of a generalized hybrid dynamical system, which consists of a history-dependent hemivariational inequality of parabolic type and a nonlinear evolution equation. The unique solvability for the system is established via applying surjectivity of multivalued pseudomonotone operators, fixed point theorem, and properties of the Clarke generalized gradient. As an illustrative application, a dynamic frictional contact problem for viscoelastic materials with history-dependent and adhesion is investigated, in which the friction condition is described by the Clarke generalized gradient of a nonconvex and nonsmooth function involving adhesion, and the normal damped response condition is expressed by a given nonnegative function depending on the normal velocity and adhesion.
