A class of fractional differential history-dependent hemivariational inequalities with application to thermo-viscoleastic
Abstract
The aim of this work is to study a class of fractional differential history-dependent hemivariational inequalities and to provide an example of application in thermo-viscoelasticity. Using the Rothe method and the subjectivity property of multivalued pseudomonotone operators, we first prove existence of a solution. The proof is based on a fixed point argument and a recent finding from hemivariational inequalities theory. Then, we apply the obtained abstract results to a nonlinear thermo-viscoelastic contact problem with a historydependent with fractional time Kelvin-Voiget constitution law and adhesion.
