On the numerical treatment of the contact problem

Abstract

The problem of the contact of two elastic bodies of arbitrary shape with a kernel in the form of a logarithmic function-which is investigated from Hertz problem-is reduced to an integral equation. A numerical method is adapted to determine the pressure between the two surfaces under certain conditions.
