Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 83, 1-21.1072-6691http://hdl.handle.net/10323/4218Existence of a weak solution for the problem of dynamic frictional contact between a viscoelastic body and a rigid foundation is established. Contact is modelled with the Signorini condition. Friction is described by a slip rate dependent friction coefficient and a nonlocal and regularized con- tact stress. The existence in the case of a friction coefficient that is a graph, which describes the jump from static to dynamic friction, is established, too. The proofs employ the theory of set-valued pseudomonotone operators applied to approximate problems and a priori estimates.en-USDynamic contactSignorini conditionSlip rate dependent frictionNonlocal frictionViscoelastic bodyExistenceArticle
