Abstract
Necessary conditions for the stability of elastic bodies subjected to nonmonotone multivalued boundary conditions are derived. These conditions are assumed to be derived from nonconvex and nonsmooth, quasidifferentiable energy functions. A ‘difference convex’ approximation of the potential energy function is written based on an appropriate quasidifferential formulation. Under appropriate assumptions for the convex and the concave parts we prove the existence of at least one nontrivial solution to the nonlinear eigenvalue problem.
