Abstract

The two-dimensional indentation of an elastic half space by a rigid punch under a slowly applied normal load is considered, for the case in which there is a finite coefficient of friction μ between the surfaces. The contact area is then divided into an inner adhesive region −c < x < c in which the surface displacements are known, surrounded by regions c < |x| < 1 in which the friction is limiting and the lateral displacement (which must increase in proportion to the overall load) is not known in advance. The problem is formulated in terms of a coupled pair of singular integral equations for the normal and shear stresses σ and τ at the surface; these are combined to give a single homogeneous Fredholm equation with positive kernel for a quantity π proportional to the difference τ – μσ in the adhesive region. The largest eigenvalue of this equation, for which π > 0, gives the adhesive boundary c in terms of μ and Poisson's ratio ν. A similarity transformation shows that c has the same value for both flat-faced and power law punches.
