description

From the previous chapter we know that there exist many important problems in mechanics in which constitutive laws are expressed by means of nonmonotone, possibly multivalued relations (nonmonotone multivalued stress-strain or reaction-displacement relations,e.g). The resulting mathematical model leads to an inclusion type problem involving multivalued nonmonotone mappings or to a substationary type problem for a nonsmooth, nonconvex superpotential expressed in terms of calculus of variation. It is the aim of this chapter to give a detailed study of a discretization of such a type of problems including the convergence analysis. Here we follow closely Miettinen and Haslinger, 1995, Miettinen and Haslinger, 1997.
