Öner, Erdal
An analytical method for solving the two-dimensional frictionless continuous contact problem of an orthotropic layer pressed by a rigid stamp is presented in this paper. The orthotropic layer lies on a rigid foundation, and plane-strain orthotropy prevails in the layer, which is not bonded to the rigid foundation. An external load was applied to the orthotropic layer through a rigid stamp. The profiles of flat and cylindrical stamps as stamp shapes were handled separately. The orthotropic layer was assumed to be subjected to uniform vertical body forces owing to the effect of gravity. For values of the resultant compressive force P acting on the stamp vertically that were lesser than a critical value, the continuous contact along the orthotropic layer–rigid foundation interface was maintained. By assuming plane-strain conditions, the governing equations corresponding to the mentioned contact problem were extracted separately in the presence and absence of the body force of the orthotropic layer using the theory of elasticity and the Fourier integral transformation technique. Subsequently, the mixed boundary value problem was reduced to a singular integral equation, and the numerical solution of this singular integral equation was obtained by applying the Gauss–Chebyshev integration formulas. Numerical results reveal the effect of the orthotropic material parameters, stamp length (in the case of a flat stamp), stamp radius (in the case of a cylindrical stamp), applied load on the contact stress distributions, contact length, initial separation load and initial separation distance. The results of this study may provide insights for engineers in fields closely related to contact mechanics.

This paper presents a comparative study of different methods, such as the analytical method, finite element method (FEM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) for analyzing a frictionless receding contact problem. The problem consists of two layers resting on a Winkler foundation. The top layer is functionally graded (FG) along the depth and pressed using a rigid cylindrical stamp, whereas the bottom layer is homogeneous. We assumed that the contact between the two layers, and that between the FG layer and the rigid cylindrical stamp are frictionless; additionally, compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interface. First, the problem was solved analytically using the theory of elasticity and integral transform techniques. Second, the finite element solution of the problem was obtained using ANSYS software. Finally, the problem was extended based on the MLP, which an artificial neural network used for different problem parameters. The results of this study showed that the variations in the contact lengths at the interface between the rigid cylindrical stamp and the FG layer, those between the homogeneous layer and the FG layer, and the maximum contact pressures at these interfaces depended on various dimensionless quantities such as the stamp radius, stiffness parameter, shear modulus ratio, and elastic spring constant ratio. We observed that the results obtained with the three different methods, namely the analytical method, FEM, and MLP, are extremely compatible with each other, thus proving the accuracy of these results.

Öner, Erdal; Birinci, Ahmet
The continuous contact problem for two elastic layers resting on an elastic half-infinite plane and loaded by means of a rigid stamp is presented. The elastic layers have different heights and elastic constants. An external load is applied to the upper elastic layer by means of a rigid stamp. The problem is solved under the assumptions that all surfaces are frictionless, body forces of elastic layers are taken into account, and only compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interfaces. General expressions of stresses and displacements are obtained by using the fundamental equations of the theory of elasticity and the integral transform technique. Substituting the stress and the displacement expressions into the boundary conditions, the problem is reduced to a singular integral equation, in which the function of contact stresses under the rigid stamp is unknown. The integral equation is solved numerically by making use of the appropriate Gauss-Chebyshev integration formula for circular and rectangular stamp profiles. The contact stresses under the rigid stamp, contact areas, initial separation loads, and initial separation distances between the two elastic layers and the lower-layer elastic half-infinite plane are obtained numerically for various dimensionless quantities and shown in graphics and tables.
