Asymptotics for some vibro‐impact problems with a linear dissipation term

Abstract We consider a mechanical system with a finite number of degrees of freedom submitted to a non smooth potential Φ and a viscous dissipation force. We study the asymptotic behavior of dissipative solutions when the time variable tends to +∞. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
