Contact problems incorporating elastic layers

Abstract

In this paper, plane elastic contact between a thin strip and symmetric rollers is considered. Various loading regimes, including factional sliding, frictionless and frictional indentation, and the effect of applying a tangential force less than that necessary to cause sliding are treated. For each case, the surface tractions are found, and, for the last two problems, a detailed analysis of the stick and slip zones is presented. © 1988.
