Abstract

We continue our study, started in [A. Češík, G. Gravina and M. Kampschulte, Inertial evolution of non-linear viscoelastic solids in the face of (self-)collision, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 63 2024, 2, Paper No. 55], of (self-)collisions of viscoelastic solids in an inertial regime. We show existence of weak solutions with a corresponding contact force measure in the case of solids with only Lipschitz-regular boundaries. This necessitates a careful study of different concepts of tangent and normal cones and the role these play both in the proofs and in the formulation of the problem itself. Consistent with our previous approach, we study contact without resorting to penalization, i.e., by only relying on a strict non-interpenetration condition. Additionally, we improve the strategies of our previous proof, eliminating the need for regularization terms across all levels of approximation.
