This volume is comprised of articles providing new results on variational and hemivariational inequalities with applications to Contact Mechanics unavailable from other sources. The book will be of particular interest to graduate students and young researchers in applied and pure mathematics, civil, aeronautical and mechanical engineering, and can be used as supplementary reading material for advanced specialized courses in mathematical modeling. New results on well posedness to stationary and evolutionary inequalities and their rigorous proofs are of particular interest to readers. In addition to results on modeling and abstract problems, the book contains new results on the numerical methods for variational and hemivariational inequalities.
