Abstract
The problem of a rigid punch pressed against and moved on the surface of an elastic or viscoelastic layer is studied. It is shown that the governing equations reduce to the same integral equation for the elastic contact problem. Two particular motions of the punch are considered. In the first case the punch moves at a constant speed along a straight line on the surface of a viscoelastic layer. In the second case the punch moves at a constant speed along a circular path. Finally, the special case of a punch moving on a layer of a standard linear viscoelastic solid is studied. The equation is identical to a punch of modified shape pressed on an elastic layer.
