Abstract

In this paper, we consider a penalty based numerical method to solve a model contact problem with unilateral constraint that is described by a constrained stationary hemivariational inequality. The penalty technique is applied to approximately enforce the constraint condition, and a corresponding numerical method using finite elements is introduced. We show the convergence of the penalty based numerical solutions to the solution of the constrained hemivariational inequality as both the mesh-size and the penalty parameter approach zero.
