An abstract second-order evolution equation or inclusion is discretized in time in such a way that the energy is conserved at least in qualified cases, typically in the cases when the governing energy is component-wise quadratic or slightly perturbed quadratic. Specific applications in continuum mechanics of solids possibly with various internal variables cover vibrations or waves in linear viscoelastic materials at small strains, coupled with some inelastic processes as plasticity, damage, or phase transformations, and also some surface variants related to contact mechanics. The applicability is illustrated by numerical simulations of vibrations interacting with a frictional contact or waves emitted by an adhesive contact of a two-dimensional viscoelastic body.
