The plane-strain problem of a smooth, flat rigid indenter contacting a layered elastic half space is examined. It is mathematically formulated using integral transforms to derive a singular integral equation for the contact pressure, which is solved by expansion in orthogonal polynomials. The solution predicts complete contact between the indenter and the surface of the layered half space only for a restricted range of the material and geometrical parameters. Outside of this range, solutions exist with two or three contact regions. The parameter space divisions between the one, two, or three contact region solutions depend on the material and geometrical parameters and they are found for both the one and two layer cases. As the modulus of the substrate decreases to zero, the two contact region solution predicts the expected result that contact occurs only at the corners of the indenter. The three contact region solution provides an explanation for the nonuniform approach to the half space solution as the layer thickness vanishes.

Rigid Indentor

A plane-strain study of steady sliding by a smooth rigid indentor at any constant speed on a class of orthotropic or transversely isotropic half-spaces is performed. Exact solutions for the full displacement fields are constructed, and applied to the case of the generic parabolic indentor. The closed-form results obtained confirm previous observations that physically acceptable solutions arise for sliding speeds below the Rayleigh speed, for a single critical transonic speed, and for all supersonic speeds. Continuity of contact zone traction is lost for the latter two cases. Calculations for five representative materials indicate that contact zone width achieves minimum values at high, but not critical, subsonic sliding speeds. A key feature of the analysis is the factorization that gives, despite anisotropy, solution expressions that are rather simple in form. In particular, a compact function of the Rayleigh-type emerges that leads to a simple exact formula for the Rayleigh speed itself.
