A General Approximate Solution for the Slightly Non-Axisymmetric Normal Contact Problem of Layered and Graded Elastic Materials

We present a general approximate analytical solution for the normal contact of layered and functionally graded elastic materials for almost axisymmetric contact profiles. The solution only requires knowledge of the corresponding contact solution for indentation using a rigid cylindrical flat punch....
