In this work, the Fredholm integral equation (FIE) with logarithmic kernel is investigated from the contact problem in the plane theory of elasticity. Then, using potential theory method (PTM), the spectral relationships (SRs) of this integral equation are obtained in some different domains of the contact. Many special cases and new SRs are established and discussed from this work.

This paper exactly analyzes the problem of a rigid conical punch indenting a transversely isotropic piezoelectric half-space. The potential theory method is employed and generalized to include the piezoelectric effect. By using the previous results of pure elasticity, exact solution is derived. It is found that all the elastoelectric variables are expressed in terms of elementary functions. Numerical results are finally performed.

The thermal surface distortion of an anisotropic elastic half-plane is studied using the extended version of Stroh’s formalism. In general, the curvature of the surface depends both on the local heat flux into the half-plane and the local temperature variation along the surface. However, if the material is orthotropic, the curvature of the surface depends only on the local heat flux into the half-plane. As a direct application, the two-dimensional thermoelastic contact problem of an indenter sliding against an orthotropic half-plane is considered. Two cases, where the indenter has either a flat or a parabolic profile, are studied in detail. Comparisons with other available results in the literature show that the present method is correct and accurate.
