Hemivariational inequalities represent an important class of
problems in nonsmooth and nonconvex mechanics. By means of them,
problems with nonmonotone, possibly multivalued, constitutive laws
can be formulated, mathematically analyzed and finally numerically
solved. The present book gives a rigorous analysis of finite
element approximation for a class of hemivariational inequalities
of elliptic and parabolic type. Finite element models are described
and their convergence properties are established. Discretized
models are numerically treated as nonconvex and nonsmooth
optimization problems. The book includes a comprehensive
description of typical representants of nonsmooth optimization
methods. Basic knowledge of finite element mathematics, functional
and nonsmooth analysis is needed. The book is self-contained, and
all necessary results from these disciplines are summarized in the
introductory chapter. Audience: Engineers and applied
mathematicians at universities and working in industry. Also
graduate-level students in advanced nonlinear computational
mechanics, mathematics of finite elements and approximation theory.
Chapter 1 includes the necessary prerequisite materials.
