• The primary objective of this paper is to explore a complicated differential variational-hemivariational inequality involving a history-dependent operator in Banach spaces. A well-posedness result for the inequality, including the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on the initial data of the solution is established by using a fixed point principle for history-dependent operators. Moreover, to illustrate the applicability of the theoretical results, an elastic contact problem with wear and long time dependent effort is explored.
