The axisymmetrical contact problem of elasticity connected with an indentation of a rigid spherical indenter in an elastic semi-space covered by an elastic layer is considered. Stress tensor components in interior points of the non-homogeneous half-space by numerical calculation of some integrals was obtained. Detailed analysis of the maximal tensile stress distributions and Huber-von Mises reduced stress distributions produced by contact pressure is presented. The dependence between these stresses and the ratio between the layer thickness and contact area width is explored. The obtained results for stresses are compared with results obtained for half-space loaded by the Hertz pressure. & 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The progress of coating technology is the reason for wide employments of hard top layers for improvement of the tribological properties of sliding surfaces. This can lead to reduction of the friction coefficient and the wear quantity while the weight of the material is not changed. Fractures in the coating (cohesive failure) or delamination and spalling (adhesive failure) at the coating/substrate interface are the weak points of the top layers employed [1–4]. Therefore, the analysis of stress distributions produced by contact pressure is very important. Many authors during recent years take interest in the contact problems that a rigid sphere (axi-symmetrical problem) or a long rigid cylinder (two-dimensional problem) are pressured. The selected contact parameters such as penetration depth of the punch or radius of the contact area are recorded in an experiment [5–17], while stresses in the contact area are submit to theoretical consideration by solving a specified contact problem of the elasticity theory [1–3,13–34]. It is shown that fundamental factors responsible for destruction of layers are: maximum tensile stress [1–3,15,18–25,35], Huber–von Mises reduced stress [1,18–21,26–29,36,37] (or maximum shear stress [2,30,35]) and maximum shear stress at the coating/substrate interface [1,3,18,22,32,33]. The highest values of parameters specified above occur on the surface of non-homogeneous medium [21,23] or at the coating/surface interface [20,21,25]. In majority of studies

[1,20,21,23,25,29–31] the distribution of contact pressure as semipffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi elliptical pressure is assumed pðrÞ ¼ pmax 1r 2 , where pmax— contact pressure in the centre of the contact area, r—dimensionless radius coordinate (related to radius of the contact zone—parameter a). This procedure is often correct and seems undisputed in case of relatively thick layers (h¼H/a41, where H is a thickness of the layer). When Hertz pressure distribution is assumed, the results are comparable (with a small deviation) with ones given in article [18] where h¼1/0.819E1.221. In the case of hard coating similar effect for ‘thin’ layers is observed [35]. The axi-symmetrical problem on the penetration of sphere into elastic half-space coated by harder layer is known to differ from Hertzian solution [38]. In the case that Young’s modulus of the layer differ considerably from Young’s modulus of the substrate, the maximum value of the contact pressure occurs in some distance from the centre of contact area [38] (about 0.8 of radius of the contact circle with E0/E1 ¼10, h¼0.3, n0 ¼ n1 ¼1/3, where E0, E1, n0, n1 are Young modules and Poisson ratios of the layer and the substrate, respectively). A similar result was observed in corresponding two-dimensional contact problem of elasticity [5,39]. The goal of the work is:

 to compare the distribution of specify above stresses caused by true distribution of contact pressure and Hertzian distribution;

 to study the ratio between maximal tensile stress and Huber–



von Mises reduced stress on the surface of the heterogeneous half-space and at the layer—half-space interface at different parameters; to explore the dependence between these stresses and the ratio between the layer thickness and contact area width.

Adequate calculations in the case of two-dimensional contact problem were considered in [40,41]. It is necessary to point out that calculations presented in this paper and [40,41] are consistent to what was given by [1,5,6,20,21,29,30,39,42,43]. We propose a simplified algorithm for solving the contact problem together with the classical algorithm. This algorithm allows one to obtain a formula for pressure calculation which simplifies the analysis of stress fields by finite element method or boundary element method without applying elliptical distribution (Hertz distribution).

2. Problem definition The problem of an elastic half-space covered by an elastic layer in which a rigid sphere is pressured, is considered (Fig. 1). We take into account that the radius of the sphere R is much larger than the radius of the area of contact. This approach permits to approximate the surface of the sphere by a paraboloid zðrÞ ¼ ar2 =2R,

The problem of an elasticity for the non-homogeneous halfspace loaded by p(r) pressure is considered first. The general solution of the problem presented in the Hankel transform space (see Appendix A). Eqs. (12)–(23) contain six unknown functions ai ðsÞ, i ¼ 1,2, . . . ,6. These functions are obtained as a solution to linear equations (see Appendix A), satisfying boundary conditions (3) and (4). The form of the solution is adequate to satisfy the regularity conditions in infinity (6). An unknown contact pressure distribution we can calculate satisfying boundary condition (5) and equilibrium condition (7).

The forms Ai and Bi, i¼1,2 are presented in Appendix B. Figs. 2 and 3 show relationship between dimensionless radius of the contact zone a0 ¼a/aH (related to the Hertzian radius of contact for homogeneous half-space with mechanical properties adequate for the layer) and contact pressure distribution to h and E0/E1 parameters. When hb1, the actual contact parameters insignificantly differ from equivalent parameters for Hertz problem. The larges differences between contact pressure distributions for our contact problem and Hertz’s pressure occurs when hA[0.2,0.6]. The ratio a/aH it is possible to use to calculation of the ratio between current mean contact pressure (p0) and the Hertzian mean contact pressure for homogeneous half-space with mechanical properties adequate for the layer (pH): p0/pH ¼(aH/a)2. It is necessary to point out that the parameter h is unknown. The relationship between this parameter and a priori known parameter h* ¼H/aH is described by the following expression: h* ¼ha/aH (Fig. 4). When h* b1 then hEh*. Figs. 2 and 3 show that the solution of to the system of Eqs. (16) well approximates integral Eq. (8). The largest differences among the solutions appear in the case of relatively thin layers. They increased together with an enlargement of the ratio of the layer and Young’s moduli of substrates. The error of estimation of the half-width of contact for h¼0.1 and E0/E1 ¼8 is equal to 2.9%. Similar differences between the approximate solution and integral equation solution for other combination of Poisson ratios is observed (n1 ¼ 0.45, n2 ¼0.05, n1 ¼0.05, n2 ¼0.45, n1 ¼0.05, n2 ¼0.05, n1 ¼0.45, n2 ¼0.45). As stated above, it is possible to use the simplification approach when hA[0.2;1.5] and E0/E1 o8 (when hb1 the solution approach the Hertz solution).

Taking into consideration Eq. (19), we can write expressions (17) and (18) in the following form: Z 12n0 1 ~ sð0Þ pðsÞJ 1 ðsrÞ ds rr ðr,hÞ ¼ pðrÞ þ r 0 Z 1   ~ þ a 4  ðsÞpðsÞ ð20Þ 2d0 sJ0 ðsrÞð1 þ d0 Þr 1 J1 ðsrÞ ds,

Upon the analysis of the relationship found for calculation of the dimensionless stresses sð0Þ ij =p0 , we conclude that they depend on four non-dimensional parameters: the ratio of the thickness of the top layer and the half-width of contact, the ratio of the layer and Young’s moduli of substrates and the layer and the substrate Poisson ratios. In the contact problem for homogeneous half-space, tensile stresses occur at the trailing edge of the unloaded half-space surface [44]. The maximum value of sð0Þ rr =p0 occurs at the edge area of contact (r ¼ 1,z¼h) and is equal to 0.5(1  2n0). An increment of the parameter E0/E1 causes that the maximum tensile stresses occur in a certain distance from the edge of the

contact area (Fig. 5a–c). This is more typical for relatively thick layers. When the thickness of the layer increases it leads to a decreasing level of dimensionless tensile stresses in the described area. The second area, in which tensile stress can occur, is the coating/substrate interface (Fig. 5a0 –c0 ). In the case of relatively thin layers, the tensile stresses in this area do not occur at all or their level is much lower with respect to tensile stresses appearing at the surface. Together with the increasing of thickness of the layer or E0/E1 parameter, tensile stresses at the interface also increase. For a certain layer thickness, the principal stress s1 (we make an assumption that s3 o s2 o s1) achieves the largest value at the interface. Fig. 6 shows that every curve consist of two sections. The first section (adequate for the smaller values of parameter h) is related with parameters for which the maximum tensile stress occurs on the surface of the nonhomogeneous half-space. The second section describes cases in which the maximum tensile stress at the interface is observed. In the case of relatively thin layers (h o0.2) or reasonable values of parameters E0/E1 (E0/E1 o 2) to calculation the maximum tensile stress we can replace the actual contact pressure by Hertz’s distribution (Fig. 7). Increasing of these parameters causes that the error of maximum tensile stress calculation also increase. The maximum values of tensile stresses at the interface calculated of the basis of Hertz contact pressure and the distribution of actual pressure are considerably differing. The distribution of contact pressure described by Eq. (13) permits one to calculate the maximum value of tensile stresses with satisfactory precision both on the surface and at the interface (black curves in Fig. 7). For large ratio of Young modules of the layer and the substrate (E0/E1 ¼8) and non-dimensional layer thickness h¼0.27, the largest value of the error for calculation of maximum tensile stress at the coating/substrate interface is observed. The error is equal to 10%, while the error for Hertz’s distribution in this case is equal to 60%. Calculations confirmed that the Huber-von Mises reduced stress received the maximal value at the coating/substrate interface in general. Relatively thin layers (h o0.2), relatively thick layers (h41) and layers, whose mechanical properties differ insignificantly from the substrate properties, are exception to this rule. For relatively thin layers the maximal value of these stresses on the surface of the non-homogeneous half-space we observed. 7

In the other cases described above, the Huber-von Mises reduced stress received the maximal value in the central part of top layer [29]. Typical distributions of the Huber-von Mises reduced stresses at the coating/substrate interface are shown in Fig. 8. The level of these stresses may be (with except relatively thin layers or very large values of ratio E0/E1) much higher than level of tensile stresses (Fig. 9). In the case when 0.2 oho0.7 considerable difference between the maximal value of Huber-von Mises reduced stress for the actual contact pressure and for Hertz’s distribution is observed (Fig. 10). Describing the contact pressure by Eq. (13), it permits one to calculate the largest value of the Huber-von Mises reduced stress with an accuracy of satisfying for engineering practice. A typical distribution of srz stress is shown in Fig. 11. Replacing of actual contact pressure by Hertz pressure does not cause considerable changes in the srz stress distribution at the coating/ substrate interface. The largest deviation of calculation of the maximum srz stress with an error up to 8% was observed. 30

Fig. 12. (a) Relationship between the maximum Huber-von Mises reduced stress in the substrate and non-dimensional layer thickness and (b) Relationship between max max smax HM =sHM,0 and the non-dimensional layer thickness (sHM,0 —maximum Huber-von Mises reduced stress for homogeneous half-space with mechanical properties of substrate).

The level of stresses in half-space (mark ‘‘1’’) we will evaluate on the basis of distribution of Huber-von Mises reduced stress. When the layer thickness is higher than specific value the maximum value of this stress appear on the z-axis at the coating/surface interface. This value is checked off by cross at Fig. 12a. At small thickness of cover layer the maximum value of sHM stress is placed in small distance of the centre of the area of contact in comparison with proper distance for homogeneous half-space (0.46 of the radius of the contact area when n1 ¼0.25). The value of smax HM =p0 parameter in the case of half-space covered by layer is smallest than proper value for homogeneous half-space is equal to 0.965 (n1 ¼0.25). In Fig. 12a this value is checked off by ‘diamond’. However, it is necessary to point out that incrementation of mean contact pressure when appear with half-space is covered exceed the reduce of smax HM =p0 parameter. It is causes that the higher level of Huber-von Mises reduced stress occur in the substrate in comparison with homogeneous halfspace case.

7. Conclusions The contact problem of elasticity connected with an indentation of a rigid sphere in an elastic semi-space covered by an elastic layer has been considered. The paper presents detailed analysis of stress distribution produced by contact pressure. The analysis of stress distribution in the hard top layer proved that this layer can be divided into three sections: relatively thin layers (h o0.2), relatively thick layers (h40.7) and those in between. In the case of relatively thin layers, the maximum tensile stress occurs at the unloaded half-space surface. Another area where the tensile stress may occur is the coating/substrate interface. An increase of layer thickness or E0/E1 parameter is also accompanied by an increase of tensile stresses at the interface. For a certain layer thickness the tensile stresses at the coating/substrate interface are greater than the ones on the surface of the nonhomogeneous half-space. In the case of relatively thick layers, the predominant stresses are mostly tensile stresses at the coating/ substrate interface. When 0.2 oho0.7, the maximum tensile

stress occurs either at the unloaded half-space surface or at the coating/substrate interface. In the case of a ‘reasonable’ thickness of layer (ho1) the maximum value of the Huber-von Mises reduced stress occurs at the coating/substrate interface (with an exception of relatively thin layers or when the mechanical properties of the layer differ insignificantly from the substrate properties). For relatively thin layers the maximum sHM stress appears on the surface of nonhomogeneous half-space. The level of the Huber-von Mises reduced stresses may be much higher (more than twice) compared to the largest value of the tensile stress. The replacement of the actual contact pressure with Hertz pressure makes it possible to calculate the maximum tensile stresses on the surface of non-homogeneous half-space and the maximum shear stress srz at the coating/substrate interface with a satisfactory precision for engineering calculations. The maximum tensile stresses at the coating/surface interface and the Huber-von Mises reduced stresses considered in view of actual contact pressure and Hertz distribution differs considerably (with exception of relatively thick layers). In calculations, we can describe distribution of actual pressure by approximate relation (13).
