An adaptive algorithm for unilateral viscoelastic contact problems for beams and plates. (English) Zbl 0778.73072

Summary: An adaptive algorithm is given for the bending of viscoelastic beams and plates resting on viscoelastic, unilateral, frictionless foundations. An a posteriori error indicator proposed here is obtained by making use of upper and lower bounds generated by the saddle functional being a potential for the system of equations and inequalities which govern the contact problem.
