The boundary integral approach to static and dynamic contact problems [electronic resource] : equality and inequality methods / H. Antes, P.D. Panagiotopoulos.

The fields of boundary integral equations and of inequality problems, or more gen erally, of nonsmooth mechanics, have seen, in a remarkably short time, a considerable development in mathematics and in theoretical and applied mechanics. The engineering sciences have also benefited from these develop...
