This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph studies an evolutionary variational inequality approach to a degenerate moving free boundary problem. It takes an intermediate position between elliptic and parabolic inequalities and comprises an elliptic differential operator, a memory term and time-dependent convex constraint sets. Finally, a description of injection and compression moulding is presented in terms of different mathematical models, a generalized Hele-Shaw flow, a distance concept and Navier-Stokes flow.
