Abstract
A quasistatic contact problem between two elastic-viscoplastic bodies involving frictionless boundary conditions is considered. Two variatio nal formulations of this problem are proposed, followed by existence a nd uniqueness results. An equivalence result between the previous vari ational formulations, the continuous dependence of the solution with r espect to the data as well as a convergence result with respect to a v iscosity parameter are also obtained.
