The contact is described with the normal compliance condition with unilateral constraint and a version of Archard’s wear law. We introduce the model and prove its weak formulation, which is composed of a history-dependent variational equality and an integral equation. Using abstract history-dependent variational inequality and fixed point theorem, we show the existence and uniqueness solution of the model. In addition, we introduce a fully discrete scheme for the numerical solution of the problem, based on the finite element method to approximate the spatial derivative, and on the Euler scheme to discretize the time derivative. Finally, we derive the optimal-order error estimate under appropriate regularity hypotheses.
