Method for solving plane unsteady contact problems for rigid stamp and elastic half-space with a cavity of arbitrary geometry and location

Abstract

In the work, the process of unsteady contact interaction of rigid stamp and elastic half-space having a recessed cavity of arbitrary geometry and location with a smooth boundary was investigated. Three variants of contact conditions are considered: free slip, rigid coupling, and bonded contact. The method for solving the problem is constructed using boundary integral equations. To obtain boundary integral equations, the dynamic reciprocal work theorem is used. The kernels of integral operators are bulk Green functions for the elastic plane. Because of straight-line approximations of the domain boundaries with respect to the spatial variable and straight-line approximations of the boundary values of the desired functions with respect to time, the problem is reduced to solving a system of algebraic equations with respect to the pivotal values of the desired displacements and stresses at each time interval. One of the axes is directed along the regular boundary of half-space, the second - deep into half-space.
