This paper revolves around a newly introduced weak solvability concept forrate-independent systems, alternative to the notions of Energetic and BalancedViscosity solutions. Visco-Energetic solutions have been recently obtained bypassing to the time-continuous limit in a time-incremental scheme, akin to thatfor Energetic solutions, but perturbed by a `viscous' correction term, as inthe case of Balanced Viscosity solutions. However, for Visco-Energeticsolutions this viscous correction is tuned by a fixed parameter. The resultingsolution notion turns out to describe a kind of evolution in between Energeticand Balanced Viscosity evolution.  In this paper we aim to investigate the application of Visco-Energeticsolutions to the paradigmatic example of perfect plasticity, and to nonsmoothrate-independent processes in solid mechanics such as damage and plasticity atfinite strains. With the limit passage from adhesive contact to brittledelamination, we also provide a first result of Evolutionary Gamma-convergencefor Visco-Energetic solutions. The analysis of these applications reveals thewide applicability of this solution concept and confirms its intermediatecharacter.
