OSTI ID:6048743
In this paper the frictionless contact problem for bonded dissimilar homogeneous elastic three dimensional bodies is addressed. A new method, based on a rigorous variational formulation and application of a direct multi-regional boundary element procedure for the approximation of the related Green's function, has been developed. The method is applicable to any kind of geometry of the contacting bodies and for arbitrary loading. The examples presented illustrate a distinct ability of the method to capture the influence of the composite structure of a body on the contact area and the pressure acting in it. 15 refs.
