  • Abstract

In this paper, we study a dynamic contact model with long memory which allows both the convex potential and nonconvex superpotentials to depend on history-dependent operators. The deformable body consists of a viscoelastic material with long memory and the process is assumed to be dynamic. The contact involves a nonmonotone Clarke subdifferential boundary condition and the friction is modeled by a version of the Coulomb's law of dry friction with the friction bound depending on the total slip. We introduce and study a fully discrete scheme of the problem, and derive error estimates for numerical solutions. Under appropriate solution regularity assumptions, an optimal order error estimate is derived for the linear finite element method.  This theoretical result is illustrated numerically.
