Abstract
A numerical method is presented for a mathematical model which describes the frictionless contact between a viscoplastic body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. The process is quasistatic, and the contact is modeled with normal compliance and unilateral constraint, in such a way that the stiffness coefficient depends on the history of the penetration. A solution algorithm is discussed and implemented. Numerical simulation results are reported, illustrating the mechanical behavior related to the contact condition.
