Abstract
We consider in this paper the numerical approximation of a quasi-static contact problem in linear thermoelasticity that models the evolution of the temperature and displacement of an elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic body that may come in contact with an elastic obstacle. We propose a finite element method to numerically approximate the continuous solution. Convergence without any regularity assumptions is proved and error estimates are obtained if the continuous solution is sufficiently regular.
