Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we present a novel numerical solution procedure for semicoercive hemivariational inequalities. As a concrete example, we consider a unilateral semicoercive contact problem with nonmonotone friction modeling the deformation of a linear elastic block in a rail, and provide numerical results for benchmark tests.
