Abstract

Problem statement: In this study we considered a shell modeled by Naghdi’s equations with a unilateral contact of a rigid body. Approach: This model has been studied by Blouza and Le Dret (1994b) but without contact. Results: In this study, we studied the existence, uniqueness and continuity of the deformation of this shell with respect to the data. Conclusion: We proposed to approximate the model by a finite element method.
