(Communicated by I. N. SNEDDON) Abstract-We consider an elastic contact problem for a half-space indented by a flat annular rigid stamp, which is a three-part mixed boundary value problem. If the distribution of pressure on the contact region is assumed, the contact problem will be reduced to the solution of an infinite set of simultaneous equations. Numerical results are also illustrated for the distributions of the displacements and stresses in the half-space.
1. INTRODUCTION the simplest three-part mixed boundary value problems in elasticity is the contact problem for a flat annular rigid stamp and, at present, there seems to be no method available for obtaining the solution in a closed form. Williams[l], Cooke[2], Noble[3], Collins[4] and Jain and Kanwel[Sl showed that such a problem can be reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation, and tried to solve the equation by an iterative procedure. Gubenko and Mossakovskii [6] showed that the problem can be reduced to the solution of a pair of simultaneous Fredholm integral equations, but that the iterative solution of these equations is very complicated. The purpose of this paper is to propose a simple technique for the solution of the same problem. The normal pressure on the contact region is continuous at all points except the inner and outer edges of the stamp. In consideration of the fact, assuming the contact pressure in an appropriate series, we will reduce the problem to the solution of an infinite system of simultaneous linear algebraic equations.

take the components of the displacement vector to be (u,, 0, w,)-the 8being identically zero because of the symmetry-and the non-vanishing of the stress tensor to be a,, a,, oZ and r,,. We assume that the rigid stamp to a depth E” and the interface between the stamp and the half-space is while the rest of the surface is free from traction. Thus, the boundary con-

The present problem is equivalent to the next cases: (A) the circular stamp of the radius r. is indented on the elastic surface, and then the circular portion of the radius G( < rO) is removed; (B) the elastic surface is pressed by the infinite rigid plate with a circular hole of the radius rj, and then the infinite portion with the hole of r, is released from pressing. In the case (A), the singuIarity of (o~)~=,,at r = r. takes together the form (r i - 9)~“* before and after removing the circular portion. Similarly, in the case (B), the singularity of (aZLZO at r = ri takes together the form (r2 - r :)--I” before and after releasing the infinite portion with the hole. Therefore, the singui~ities of (c~)~+, in this problem are considered to have the forms (ri- rZ)-“2 at r = r. and (r’ - r:))‘” at r = ri:,.Then, we assume (o~),_~ in the region on the annular stamp as follows: (uz)z=o=-

Here, we choose A,,= 500 and AA = 0.2, where AA is the interval in numerical integrals. The second term is integrated by using the approximation of Bessel function.

si (x) and ci (x) are computed with good accuracy by using approximate formulae [S]. The approximate solutions of the set of simultaneous equation (16) are caiculated and are shown in Table 1. It is known that the solution is independent of the material properties of the half-space. On the surface, the displacements and stresses are calcuTable 1. Values of a. n

slopes of (u,), =0tend to infinity as r + ri + 0 and r + r,, - 0. Since (w,), __”is considerably larger than (u,)~~~, (w,),=, shows approximately the surface deformation. The surface deforms approximately elliptically in 0 5 r 5 ri,and decreases in order of r-’ in r 2 r,. The slopes of the deformation, also, tend to infinity as r + ri- 0 and r --f r0 + 0. The stresses (a,),=O, (u,)~=~ and (a,),=,, are always compressive in the contact region and tend to infinity as r + r,+ 0 and r-~ r.- 0, and are finite or zero in the rest of the surface. In particular, ((T,), =0coincides with the contact pressure of the annular stamp. In Figs. 8 and 9 and Figs. 10 and 11, respectively, the radial distributions of w, and a, in the vicinity of the surface are shown for the cases of r,,= 1 and r,= 0.25 and 0.75. In each case, the results are qualitatively similar to the case of r. = 1 and r,= 0.5.
