Abstract We study a three-dimensional contact problem on the indentation of an elliptic punch into a face of a linearly elastic wedge. The wedge is characterized by two parameters of elasticity and its edge is subjected to the action of an additional concentrated force. The other face wedge is free from stresses. The problem is reduced to an integral equation for the contact pressure. An asymptotic solution of this equation is obtained which is effective for a given contact region fairly remote from the edge. Calculations are performed that allow one to evaluate the effect of a force applied outside the contact region on the contact pressure distribution. The problem under study is a generalization of L. A. Galin's problem on a force applied outside a circular punch on an elastic half-space [1, 2]. In a special case of a wedge with an opening angle of 180° and zero contact ellipse eccentricity, the obtained asymptotic relation coincides with the expansion of Galin's exact solution in a series.

Problems of indentation of an elliptic punch into a spatial wedge with the face not loaded outside the contact region have been studied previously. For example, the paper [3] dealt with the case of a known contact region (asymptotic method) and the paper [4] considered the case of an unknown contact region (numerical method). The solution of Galin's problem allowed the authors of [2] to reduce the contact problem on the interaction of several punches applied to a half-space to a system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind (Andreikin-Panasyuk method). A topical direction in contact mechanics is the model of discrete contact as well as related problems on the interaction of several punches [2, 5-8]. The interaction of several punches applied to a face of a wedge can be treated in a similar manner and an asymptotic solution can be obtained for the case where a concentrated force is applied at an arbitrary point of this face beyond the contact region rather than on the edge.
