“…We note that the history-dependent operators have been considered for quasistatic and evolutionary contact problems by several authors, for example, by Sofonea et al in [8,21,[26][27][28] and [29], Migórski et al in [5,15,19] and [20], Ogorzały in [23], Yao et al in [31], and Zhu in [33]. The normal compliance contact condition was introduced in [13,14,22] and it was used in many papers, see, e.g., [3,9,25] and [29]. In [28], Sofonea and Patrulescu considered a contact condition which describes a foundation that is rigid if the penetration reaches a critical bound.…”
