Preface
Currently the Mathematical Theory of Contact Mechanics is emerging from
its infancy, and a point has been reached where a unified presentation of the
results, scattered throughout a variety of publications, is needed.
The aim of this monograph is to partially address this need by providing
state-of-the-artmathematicalmodellingandanalysisofsomeofthephenom-
ena that take place when a deformable body comes into quasistatic contact.
We present models for the processes, describe the mathematical results, and
provide representative proofs. A comprehensive list of recent references sup-
plements this work. Between the time we started writing this monograph
and the present, W. Han and M. Sofonea published the book “Quasistatic
Contact Problems in Viscoelasticity and Viscoplasticity,” which focuses on
mathematicalandnumericalanalysisofcontactproblemsforviscoelasticand
viscoplastic materials.
Our book, divided into three parts, with 14 chapters, is intended as a
unifiedandreadilyaccessiblesourceformathematicians,appliedmathemati-
cians, mechanicians, engineers and scientists, as well as advanced students.
It is organized in three different levels, so that readers who are not fluent in
the Theory of Variational Inequalities can easily access the modelling part
and the main mathematical results.
Representative proofs, which may be skipped upon first reading, are pro-
vided for those who are interested in the mathematical methods. Part I con-
tainsmodelsoftheprocessesinvolvedincontact.Itiswrittenatthefirstlevel
for those who have an interest in Contact Mechanics or Tribology, and mini-
malbackgroundindifferentialequationsandinitial-boundaryvalueproblems.
The processes for which we provide various models are friction, heat gener-
ation and thermal effects, wear, adhesion and damage. Several sections are
devoted to each one of these topics and the relationships among them.
The second level of the book, which focuses on the settings of the models
as initial-boundary value problems and their variational formulations, can
be found in Part II. It requires some background in modern mathematics,
although preliminary material is provided in the first chapter. Each chapter
describes a few problems with a common underlying theme. The third level
deals with the proofs of the theorems. In each chapter in Part II, the proofs
of one or two theorems can be found as examples of the mathematical tools

used.ThisisalsothelevelforthosemathematiciansinterestedintheTheory
of Variational Inequalities and its applications.
We observe that as a result of the specific problems posed by contact
models, the theory had to be extended and some of these generalizations are
also provided. Part III presents a short review and many references of re-
cent results for dynamic contact, one-dimensional contact and miscellaneous
problemsnotcoveredinthebook.Theconcludingchapterisasummaryand
a discussion of open problems and future directions. The topics of static and
evolutiongeometricallynonlinearcontactproblems,includingstructures,are
currently in preparation by the authors.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all of our collaborators for their
contributions that led to this book, especially to Professors Kevin T. An-
drews, Weimin Han and Kenneth L. Kuttler. We would also like to thank
Prof. Dr. Wolf Beiglbo¨ck, Senior Physics Editor, and his staff for their help
in bringing this monograph to your hand.
