The state of stress present in an elastic half-plane contact problem, where one or both bodies is subject to remote tension has been investigated, both for conditions of full stick and partial slip. The state of stress present near the contact edges is studied for different loading scenarios in an asymptotic form. This is of practical relevance to the study of contacts experiencing fretting fatigue, and enables the environment in which cracks nucleate to be specified.

Investigation of the function of the relative volume of pores under the load action is carried out on the base of the solution of the static contact problem of the indentation of a layer made of a material with voids or unfilled pores. A rigid strip indenter with a flat base is pressed into a porous layer that is adhered to a non-deformable base along the lower boundary. The formulated 3D problem of the indentation of a porous layer is reduced to solving the plane contact problem of the indentation of a porous strip. The plane contact problem is reduced to solving an integral equation for unknown contact stresses, the solution of which is constructed by the method of successive approximations in the form of an asymptotic expansion in the dimensionless parameter of the problem. The obtained contact stresses and the force acting on the indenter made it possible to study the influence of the nonclassical moduli of the layer porous material (the connectivity modulus and pore rigidity modulus) on the main contact characteristics and on the distribution of the function of the relative pore volume. The connectivity modulus increase leads to an increase in the compliance of the layer porous material, the pore rigidity modulus increase leads to an increase in the rigidity of the layer porous material. The maximum value of the distribution function of the relative pore volume in the porous material of the layer is achieved under the indenter base centre, regardless of the change in the porous material non-classical moduli.

This paper is concerned with the solution of the contact problem that results when a rigid punch is pressed into the surface of an inhomogeneously elastic solid comprising three distinct layers. The upper and lower layers of the solid are assumed to be homogeneous and are joined together by a functionally graded interlayer whose material properties progressively change from those of the coating to those of the substrate. By applying the Fourier transform to the governing boundary value problem (BVP), we may write the stresses and displacements within the solid in terms of indefinite integrals. In particular, the expressions for the horizontal and vertical displacements of the solid surface are used to formulate a coupled pair of integral equations which may be solved numerically to approximate the solution of the stamp problem. A selection of numerical results are then presented which illustrate the effects of friction on the contact problem and it is found that the presence of friction within the contact increases the magnitude of the maximum principal stress and changes its location. These observations indicate that material failure is much more likely to occur when friction is present within the contact as expected.
