Kt. Andrews et al., A HYPERBOLIC PARABOLIC-SYSTEM MODELING THE THERMOELASTIC IMPACT OF 2 RODS, Mathematical methods in the applied sciences, 17(11), 1994, pp. 901-918
The dynamic thermoelastic impact of two rods is modelled by a coupled
system of two quasivariational inequalities and two equalities that re
flect a bilateral contact condition and a radiation condition for the
temperatures. The existence of a weak solution is established using a
penalization method that employs Galerkin approximations and a priori
estimates.
