Abstract

We consider a problem related to resistance spot welding. The mathematical model describes the equilibrium state of an elastic, cracked body subjected to heat transfer and electroconductivity and can be viewed as an extension to the classical thermistor problem. We prove existence of a solution in Sobolev spaces.
