The Plane Symmetric Contact Problem
for Dissimilar Elastic Semi-Infinite Strips of Different
Widths
G.G. Adams and D.B. Bogy
Summary
The solution is obtained for both smooth and bonded contact between strips of different
elastic materials and widths. First, the problems are reduced to singular integral
equations which are unusual because of the mixed boundary condition on the end of the
wider strip. With minor extensions of the usual methods the order of the stress
singularity at the corners is extracted from the integral equations and numerical
solutions are then obtained for various material combinations and width ratios. The
results are compared to previous solutions in which the width ratio is either one or
infinity.
