Abstract.

In the present paper we investigate a three-dimensional boundary-contact problem of dynamics for a homogeneous hemitropic elastic medium with regard to friction. We prove the uniqueness theorem using the corresponding Green formulas and positive definiteness of the potential energy. To analyze the existence of solutions we reduce equivalently the problem under consideration to a spatial variational inequality. We consider a special parameter-dependent regularization of this variational inequality which is equivalent to the relevant regularized variational equation depending on a real parameter and study its solvability by the Faedo–Galerkin method. Some a priori estimates for solutions of the regularized variational equation are established and with the help of an appropriate limiting procedure the existence theorem for the original contact problem with friction is proved.
