Plane incomplete contact problems subject to bulk stress with a varying normal load

For a general symmetric incomplete contact, if we can deduce the partial slip solution when it is subject first to a normal load (held constant) and then to a monotonically increasing bulk tension, we show, here, how to obtain the solution when the normal load and bulk tension vary with time in an a...

description For a general symmetric incomplete contact, if we can deduce the partial slip solution when it is subject first to a normal load (held constant) and then to a monotonically increasing bulk tension, we show, here, how to obtain the solution when the normal load and bulk tension vary with time in an arbitrary way. The procedure is demonstrated for a Hertzian contact where the constant normal load solution is known in closed form. The procedure reveals the extent of slip and the shear traction distribution at all points within the contact at any instant. It is found that the size of the permanent stick zone, for a given cyclic loading trajectory, is unique in the steady state. Steady state is established after one cycle of loading: that is, it is independent of the transient loading before the steady state cycle is reached, and this same property is observed for the case of varying normal and shear loading (P - Q). An example is given to illustrate the type of behaviour that is to be expected.
