Abstract
In the present paper we draw attention to a strongly coupled nonlinear system consisting of two variational inequalities. Such a system can arise from weak formulations of contact models with implicit material laws governed by non additively-separable g-bipotentials. A multi-contact model applying to an implicit standard material illustrates the theory. Firstly, we deliver abstract results. Then, we apply the abstract results to the well-posedness of the multi-contact model under consideration.
