Title Elastic contact of smooth complex-shaped bodies
Author(s) A. A. Korolev (Saratov)
Abstract The contact problem for smooth elastic bodies with a single-point initial contact (the Hertz problem) was considered in numerous publications [1-6]. One of the basic assumptions under which this problem can be solved is that near the point of the initial contact, the contact surfaces are represented, as a rule, in terms of a homogeneous second degree polynomial, and therefore, the initial gap function is also described by a second degree polynomial. However, this restriction is justified only if the dimensions of the contact region are small relative to those of the contacting bodies. In practice, there are many contact problems in which the contact region is sufficiently large or the contacting bodies have a complex geometrical structure described by nonhomogeneous equations of arbitrary degree. Such problems cannot be treated in the framework of the Hertz problem. Of special interest is the contact of bodies with different shapes of the initial gap on the principal cross sections, with the equations of different degrees describing these shapes. In what follows, this case will be referred to as contact of bodies of complex geometrical structure.
