Recognizing the need for a single, concise source of information on models and analysis of contact problems, accomplished experts Sofonea, Han, and Shillor carefully selected several models and thoroughly study them in \u003cb\u003eAnalysis and Approximation of Contact Problems with Adhesion or Damage\u003c\/b\u003e. The book describes very recent models of contact processes with adhesion or damage along with their mathematical formulations, variational analysis, and numerical analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing an introduction to modeling and functional and numerical analysis, the book devotes individual chapters to models involving adhesion and material damage, respectively, with each chapter exploring a particular model. For each model, the authors provide a variational formulation and establish the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. They study a fully discrete approximation scheme that uses the finite element method to discretize the spatial domain and finite differences for the time derivatives. The final chapter summarizes the results, presents bibliographic comments, and considers future directions in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmploying recent results on elliptic and evolutionary variational inequalities, convex analysis, nonlinear equations with monotone operators, and fixed points of operators, \u003cb\u003eAnalysis and Approximation of Contact Problems with Adhesion or Damage\u003c\/b\u003e places these important tools and results at your fingertips in a unified, accessible reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mircea Sofonea,Weimin Han,Meir Shillor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584885858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584885856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.32w x 0.72d","brand":"Mircea Sofonea","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088592679167,"sku":"9781584885856","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c723907c-9370-435c-be9a-0d69c69d50e0.jpg?v=1769105630","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/analysis-and-approximation-of-contact-mircea-sofonea-9781584885856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
