Indentation of Smooth Elastic Interface by Disk Inclusion
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 110, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper examines the problem related to the unilateral interaction between two smoothly precompressed isotropic elastic halfspaces which is caused by the wedging action of a rigid circular inclusion of finite thickness located at the interface. The unilateral nature of the contact leads to the development of a zone of separation between the halfspace regions. This paper discusses a mathematical treatment of the problem and develops an approximate estimate for the radius of the zone of separation. Numerical results presented in the paper illustrate the manner in which the extent of the zone of separation is influenced by the precompression stress and the geometry of the embedded disk inclusion.
