...Yuan Lin, Graduate Research Assistant; Timothy C. Ovaert, Professor, Mem. ASME The two-dimensional thermoelastic contact problem of an anisotropic half-space indented by a heated rigid flat punch is studied using the extended version of Stroh’s formalism. Two cases, where the contact interface...

...D. Nowell This paper pursues a numerical approach to the solution of the contact problem of a rigid punch on an incompressible half-plane, subjected to a shearing force together with a normal force which may be offset from the centerline of the punch. A piecewise-linear representation of the shear...

...G. G. Adams; J. R. Barber; M. Ciavarella; J. R. Rice In problems involving the relative sliding to two bodies, the frictional force is taken to oppose the direction of the local relative slip velocity. For a rigid flat punch sliding over a half-plane at any speed, it is shown that the velocities...
