Axisymmetric Contact Problem for a Homogeneous Space with a Circular Disk-Shaped Crack Under Static Friction

Abstract

The paper considers an axisymmetric stress state of a homogeneous elastic space with a circular disc-shaped crack, one of the edges of which is pressed into a cylindrical circular stamp with static friction. It is assumed that the contact zone is considered under the generalized law of dry friction, i.e. tangential contact stresses are proportional to normal contact pressure, while the proportionality coefficient depends on the radial coordinates of the points of the contacting surfaces and is directly proportional to them. Considering the fact that in this case the Abel images of contact stresses are also related in a similar way, the solution of the problem, with the help of rotation operators and theory of analytical functions, is reduced to an inhomogeneous Riemann problem for two functions and the closed solution in quadratures is constructed. A numerical analysis was carried out and regularities of changes in both normal and shear real contact stresses, as well as rigid displacement of the stamp depending on the physical and geometric parameters were revealed.
