Variational Inequalities with Applications

From the reviews: "The aim of the present outstanding book is to consider a wide set of problems arising in the mathematical modeling of mechanical systems under bilateral constraints. ... This volume is primarily addressed to applied mathematicians working in the field of variational inequalities and their applications, especially those concerned with numerical aspects. ... the book will also be useful for scientists from application areas, in particular, those from engineering and physics."
