Popis: We consider a general mathematical model which describes the contact between a body and a foundation, under the small deformations hypothesis. The behavior of the material is modeled by a monotone constitutive law, while on the potential contact zone nonmonotone boundary conditions are imposed. We propose a variational formulation in terms of bipotentials, whose unknown is a pair consisting of the displacement field and the Cauchy stress field. The existence of weak solutions is proved using a recent result due to Costea and Varga (Topol Methods Nonlinear Anal 41:39–67, 2013) concerning the solvability of nonlinear hemivariational inequality systems.
