Abstract

The paper studies contact problem of a rigid stamp moving at a constant speed over the surface of anisotropic materials. The solution method is based on Galilean transformation, Fourier transform and singular integral equation. The stated mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a Cauchy type singular integral equation based on real fundamental solutions, which is solved exactly in the case of a rigid flat or cylindrical stamp. Explicit expressions for various stresses are obtained in terms of elementary functions. In particular, explicit formula is derived to determine the unknown contact region for the cylindrical stamp. For a flat stamp, detailed calculations are provided to show the influences of dimensionless moving speed on the normal and in-plane stress. For a cylindrical stamp, the effects of dimensionless moving speed, the mechanical loading and the radius on the contact region, the normal and in-plane stress are analyzed in detail.
