Perturbation singulière d'un problème de frottement sec non monotone

Abstract

In this Note we deal with a singularly perturbed system constituted by a differential inclusion which has a unique solution for each value of the perturbation parameter. The associated degenerated problem, that corresponds to a dynamic dry friction problem, has many solutions. We show that perturbed problem solutions converge to a particular solution of the degenerated problem when the perturbation parameter goes to zero. The singular perturbation approach allows an analysis of a criterion used to select a solution of the degenerated problem, and suggests a method to study more elaborated dry friction problems.
