The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new class of problems called partial differential hemivariational inequalities that combines evolution equations and hemivariational inequalities. First, we introduce the concept of strong well-posedness for mixed variational quasi hemivariational inequalities and establish metric characterizations for it. Then we show the existence of solutions and meaningful properties such as measurability and upper semicontinuity for the solution set of the mixed variational quasi hemivariational inequality associated to the partial differential hemivariational inequality. Relying, on these properties we are able to prove the existence of mild solutions for partial differential hemivariational inequalities. Furthermore, we show the compactness of the set of the corresponding mild trajectories.
