A numerical method for a nonlinear system of integro-differential equations arising in thermoviscoelasticity
This paper deals with the numerical solution of nonlinear integro-differential equations modelling a one-dimensional quasi-static contact problem in thermoviscoelasticity. A finite element approximation is proposed and analysed and some numerical results are given.
